My 8 year old black lab with lymphoma is medicating herself

Howzit, Mcgrh?

Got a gentleman in Australia who is treating canine lymphoma in a 20 kilo shepherd.
Similar results Lymph gland swellings in chest and neck have disappeared.
Two in the groin shrunken, but stubborn.
He will be tickled to hear about the butter machine.
If he can afford it. (Too rich for my blood X10. :))

Here's a tip for you.
Found a company in Washington that is extracting CBD from industrial hemp.
(Almost zero THC, but that, we got, yah?)

They market it for pet meds in capsules and also offer several kine biscuits and treats.
I ordered some to boost the CBD content on my high THC oil.
Just google "canna pet".

Got some on the way.
I'll try it and get back to you.

Aloha,
Weezard

This is screaming reality TV show!!!

Nah, not enough drama. I thought I'd go up against everyone screaming at me for abusing my dog, but living in a rural community seems to be helping. Not everyone gets the whole cannabis curing cancer thing, but everyone gets the whole "If she's going to die, make it as pleasant as you can possibly make it"

Weezard, I've seen that cannapets thing. Let me know hour that turns out, I've been curious about it. And, the magical butter machine really is kind of pricey, but if you're a caregiver and have clients willing to pay you for the extra step it's worth it. Put it this way, I pay $26 USD for a 0.5ml syringe of oil, but when we do our own extraction it works out to be about $13 for the same 0.5ml syringe

What I mean is although reality shows are for the amusement of the dumfuk masses... Sometimes they can help to educate and change stubborn attitudes... But prolly not!

Ok, gotcha. You're probably right on both points. Good way to educate, but people are way too stubborn.
 
I looked at canna pet... Looked like ground up leaves to me stuffed in a capsule... Cbd content would be so minute, I don't think it would have any beneficial effects. I could be wrong tho.. If someone has seen this stuff first hand and it is cbd oil..? Correct me.. But looked like a scam to me.

Just got back from the vet.

All 6 tumors grew by an average of 25% and she may now have a seventh tumor behind her right eye. This is horrible news, but we think we know what happened. 4 weeks ago, when the tumors finally started shrinking we thought we finally had the perfect dose to beat this thing. We kept with that dose rather than increasing it bit by bit like we did. What we should've done, and what we're going to do now, is start increasing her dosage again bit by bit until the tumors are finally gone.

An update

An update

The Canna-pet capsules have arrived.
A fine, greenish, powder stuffed into gelatin capsules.
Tastes exactly like it looks, green, and powdery.

So, Hemp in a blender?
Still, Hemp is as high in CBD as it is low in THC.
Just what no doctor ordered ;)

Seriously, this stuff is useful for adding to RSO dosages for supplemental CBD.
Without access to a testing facility, attempting to grow exotic, high CBD, strains is a crap shoot and my present crop is very high in THC, (he humbly bragged). :)
If I can believe their assay, one capsule per day should give me a 50:50 THC:CBD mix.

Immediate, miraculous results?
Oh, heck no.
The only indication of possible efficacy is cognizant change.
Toked some Trainwreck. It always makes me slow and clumsy.
Fogs up my mind and tangles my fingers.
Dropped a canna cap and ~25 minutes later I was compos mentos again.
Felt sharp, and alert.
Still ripped, but clear headed enough to enjoy it.

I'll do a 60 day trial of the "large dog" caps just before my next blood test.
Medicinal or not, it's allowing me a high dosage THC without the penalty of befuddlement.

Your dog seems to know what works.
Be interested to know what he'd say to a capsule emptied onto a plate.

Aloha,

you should be mixing hash oil with coco oil and then encapsulating it and putting the capsule inside a little piece of meat or cheese.

non activated oil can be tolerated at much higher doses too without the "stoned" effects.
 
Mcgrh! It's funny how it works for a few weeks and resumes growing.. Same with vesta.. I think with vesta it stopped growing because as she got use to the thc.. She didn't eat very much the first couple weeks and was usually a piece of chicken or fish... The last week or so I've had her on 0 carb, 0 sugar diet.. I'm not seeing any growth in the tumour.. When it grew, I could tell.. Almost see it getting bigger day by day... I really think you should put Zoey on a protein/ fat diet to starve the cancer and give the thc and cbd time to work... Here's a link. Just watch the video... http://coconutoil.com/ketogenic-diet-may-be-key-to-cancer-recovery/

Thanks everyone for your concerns and suggestions. Right now we upped her dose (THC and CBD) by about 1/4 and she's also eating more of the CBD/Olive oil mix we offer her. We're already seeing improvements. The tumor behind her right eye is definitely bothering her less now.

We're going to stick with our regimen for the time being since it was working well. I really think we should have been increasing her dosage even after the tumors shrank.

Just got back from the vet for her 2 week check up. In a nutshell, all the tumors stopped growing! Yay!!

We've been tinkering with her dosage since her last exam, and we believe it was this tinkering that is responsible. We upped her dose by one drop each (high CBD oil and high THC full plant extract oil), in a capsule of Olive oil to make it more bio available. Thanks to Infinitesimal for the idea. We tried coconut oil, but she kept fighting us, so we switched. We're also giving her a capsule full of raw pot with 3:2 CBD: THC ratio. Thanks to Weezard for that idea. As soon as she gets tolerant to this dose, we'll be upping her oils again.

The key to this whole puzzle is not resting in your laurels. The dosage has got to be increased every time she gets tolerant.

Great news!!

As long as the dog isn't too high, cannabis is not toxic and shouldn't hurt your dog at high dosages. We are rooting for you.

Just got back from the vet this morning. Tumors are starting to shrink again.

Biggest difference these last two weeks, aside from the increased dosage (3 drops THC oil, 4.5 drops CBD oil per dose has been the introduction of the raw cannabis. We had a bit of a scare yesterday because she totally stopped eating. Come to find out, after a lot of trial and error that it was the raw cannabis upsetting her stomach. Once we removed that from her capsule she started eating again

Vet recommended taking a pepcid every morning (the dog, not me) and she should be able to handle the raw pot better

" it was the raw cannabis upsetting her stomach."

Does that to people too.
Cannabis is covered with tiny cystoliths.

So is bubble hash, Kif, and unfiltered oil.
They are like tiny, sharp, needles.

Some critters tolerate them and some do not.
