| Continued from above: RAN OUT OF ROOM FOR THE other References. Don't ever doubt that the dangers of using OTC drugs aren't real and potentially dangerous, even lethal. They make their mfg.'s so much $, they can afford epidemics and deaths, legal settlements lawsuits and as there is no oversight, they pretty much can do what they want, build their plants where they please, hire the high or otherwise unemployable. Something to remember when using non-regulated OTC drugs. And this is just ONE CASE OF ONE OTC DRUG. Many times doctors never know what caused a patient's serious problem/death, but in these cases, they were able to track down a culprit.

Tibbe gave me horrible scare yesterday. He's 11 1/2 now so anything he does out of the ordinary, I get the car out of the garage, ready to vet. He'd come in from pottying and dashed into the bathroom where I'd gone, little tail down, ears back, acting scared. He was kinda dashing about, then trying to hide behind me. I just panicked. He acted scared or in pain, stressed. What could have happened to him out pottying? Got the car out, his leash out, a blanket ready, my purse, phone and keys and he was just following me around very close to my feet, tail down, acting scared. I checked him over, gums pink, normal fast return to pink on pressing, nothing seemed to hurt his joints by range of motion or palpation of them or his back or tummy, throat, neck, he did seem a bit warm but he gets warm when he's passionate or scared. I watched him with my heart in my mouth just about to scoop him up and off to the vet when I asked him if he wanted to go potty again as he was sort of behaving like he wanted to go potty, even though he'd just been. He twirled around FAST. Out we went, he briefly crouched and then was up, running normally, tail, ears up, seemingly fine. After he came back in, he smelled bad! I checked his rear and there was a dot of poop stuck in his rear hair. Aha! I removed it, washed him and he was fine. A dang dingleberry had obviously been the cause of all of that. It had been years since he's had one so I didn't obviously think if that until I smelled the poop! But after all of that, he settled on the couch in his 'spot' and was happy chappy! My heart rate finally returned to normal by evening. When they are older, you just live a life on the edge a good deal of the time, always hoping today's not the time. I get more than anything you want to make them comfortable and happy in their last years! Best to you and Callie and all her siblings!

YT 3000 Club Member | I used it a lot for chester before he passed for anxiety, pet releaf out of Colorado is very good, capsules or oil or you can get it in treats. It is good for pain, anxiety, seizures, IBS, and it was safe with his 3 meds for his heart failure |

| Not a fan. People need to be aware of the fact that people HAVE had psychotic breaks on marijuana. It is not the harmless drug many think it is....and we must remember that all mood altering substances can affect people differently. The amount of THC varies and the research really is not there for animals. I personally would NEVER give it to my pups. There are plenty of other things that have been researched and DO WORK. Please don't anyone tell me you have tried everything and it didn't work and CBD was the miracle. Not buying it. You can say it, but don't say it to me and expect me to buy it. I hope that anyone who uses it is consulting with a vet. You must know dosages! This whole thing concerns me for humans and animals...this crazy push for this so called miracle drug. I can virtually guarantee there will be problems in the future. Following is a very interesting article. https://www.petmd.com/dog/general-he...-you-need-know

Like I said, I don't buy it Taylor and you can keep telling me that...and I still won't buy it. I didn't mention long term effects. Overdose is a short term effect. I didn't ask about YOUR vet...but I would hope that "supportive" means dosing. I am happy that Callie is doing well. Again, I won't ever give it. I have NEVER had a pup who had some type of symptom that I could not treat without the use of this new treatment. This makes me think of the coconut oil cures....that stuff supposedly cures everything. Oh...and tumeric another new thing. *sigh*

All I am saying is that I don't believe there is any CBD with ZERO THC. Also, there are no research studies that I know of regarding the use in domestic pets. And, there are no regulations on this stuff that I am aware of. I am extremely concerned and I don't care what your anecdotal evidence says. As to your comments about what kind of pet owner you are...I am lost. I also don't understand your comment about respectfully disagreeing. I didn't post ANYTHING here that was referencing YOU personally. I simply posted here because I have serious concerns about this whole topic with regards to peoples' pets. I believe they should hear different viewpoints. That is ALL I am doing...trying to present something that people need to look into before jumping on this bandwagon.

| I am going to respond to your comment about "sampling" what you give your pets. I am not quite sure how you can believe that a human would have the same response to something that a tiny pet would. That's like saying I didn't get drunk on 3 oz of alcohol so it is safe to give to my infant child.

| My advice is to speak with your vet about this.

There is THC in it Taylor. It may be a small amount, but it IS there. It isn't regulated which is a major concern to me. From the AKC website: Risks of Using CBD The safety and risks of using CBD for dogs have not yet been researched. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved CBD and has not issued a dosing chart. Therefore, we do not know what size dosage would be toxic. Any medication or supplement carries the risk of a reaction. It is always advisable, when giving your dog something new, to start out with small amounts and then closely monitor the effects. And always check with your veterinarian first.
