I'm new to the medical properties of cannabis so I want to know the best way to administer it to my dog (who has nasal cancer)? I've looked at the oil but seems quite difficult to make!!

Got half a zip on the stove now with some coconut oil and water and cinnamon.

Going to make raw coconut oil, peanut butter, oat flour, and hemp seed treats. I am going to eat one first just to see the strength and then well see how my dog likes them.

Please excuse my ignorance....but what's a zip? I'm in UK and only trying to find some form of cannabis to treat my terrier, who has nasal cancer (internal), which unfortunately cannot be treated!! She's 14 but so full of life, she would go on for a few years if I could treat cancer effectively!
Any suggestions would be very welcome!!

[Andy Doglover]

Can you tell me how you make this please as my doggie has basal cancer with no treatable cure and I'd love to give this a shot!!

Andy- My recipe used cannabis which is high is CBD, and Low in thc, it is from a medical cannabis facility, and im not sure you can access this type of flower easily in the UK,if so then yea my recipe worked good for my dog. A zip is an ounce, i made the ounce of high CBD cannabis into about 45 days of treatment for my dog. Now, I just give her raw ground up cannabis (high CBD still) with her dinner, about half a gram or so.


If you dont have access to High cbd flowers, you can still make a cancer treatment, but you need to be wary of the effect of thc on the animal. With humans, we know we are about to get really high, with dogs, they have no idea, so the less high they get, the better, imo. Look for "rick simpson oil recipe", and id start by giving them a grain of sand sized (a tiny drop) amount in their dinner, see how they respond. If the dog doesn't seem to be upset with the dose (no sign of OD) then id do the same thing every night for two weeks, then double the dose, another 2 weeks, ect.

I am not a veternarian/doctor and this is not scientifically proven

I agree with TJO about feeding buds, but it's best to decarb them in the oven @260F. for ~30 minutes first.

That's not about getting high, it's about absorption.
The CBD-a and THC-a molecules are too big to pass the blood/brain barrier.
Knocking off the CO2 allows them to enter a tumor more easily as well.

With RSO, the size of the starting dose will depend on the size of the dog.

An 80 pound pup will start with something about the size of a BB and increased, gradually, to the size of a pea as tolerance builds.
That is very hard to titrate, so, for dogs it's best to dilute the oil with something the dog enjoys.
Mix 10 grams of RSO into 100 grams peanut butter and store in the fridge.
1 gram = ~ 1/4th tsp. of that mix, will contain ~100mg. or 1/10th of a gram of oil.
That's a good starting point for a 200 pound human.
Scale it down for the dog's weight.

Just my 2 cents, probably not optimum, but it'll do the job.

Aloha, and good luck.

Hello Everyone! Just stopped by for an update on my German Shepherd with oral squamous cell carcinoma. Much to the amazement of everyone (including both vets), he's still going strong. He still gets cannabis oil twice daily. He had a bought of atrophy recently and we had to start him on steroids, but otherwise no problems. The growths in his mouth haven't increased in size since he started on the oil in November. He still acts like himself, eats 2 huge meals a day and goes to work with me every morning. He's lost about 5 lbs since November, but he's still at a healthy weight. I just wish more sick people and animals had access to such an incredible treatment. Sorry for the long delay on this update.

Ask the vet for some.
Or, Amazon.
About $9 per pint.

It's a bipolar solvent that will take the oil deep into the tumor.
Consider also, that the growth is probably painful.
An oral application will help with that, and with tumor shrinkage, and, in the case of malignancy, will also inhibit metastasis.

I know how you feel.

Aloha, and luck.

Hello everyone, I'm totally new here but I have a couple of questions in regards to using Rick Simpson oil on my dog.
My dog Colton we found out recently had developed a cancer that eats away at the bone, it's sadly common in dogs that are a bit older. I have done some browsing on other cannabis forums on the same subject and I have actually seen posters claim that has killed the cancer, and tumors. Though it's hard for me to believe it will cure it entirely, I do know it will help and slow down the process and I really do hope it can cure him.

I don't think we will need much help on how much to give him, he is 60-70 pound dog and we have a good idea of how much to give him, but expertise is always welcomed.

The big issue here is that relatively we are planning on amputating the front leg with the tumor in it, but with what people have been saying about the oil, I'm not sure if we should amputate or not..

His bone isn't entirely gone, but this cancer is known to be aggressive and I don't want want to waste anymore time than what has been.

If you can please give any opinions on what you think we should do, we know it's our choice and our dog but things need to be considered with an open mind.
And what are the chances that it will kill the tumor in his foot? And if it does, will it the bone be able to grow back? Colton is nine years old.

Anyway, thank you all very much if I can manage to get some replies.

I wish I had solid answers for you, brother.

There are hundreds of different kinds of cancer.
Osteosarcoma is a tough one.
So time is of the essence.
If it were my dog, I'd start the oil yesterday.
You'll soon know if it's working.

And it is my understanding that bone cells grow constantly.
So the odds for regrowth are good.

Again, I'm just some guy on the internet that reads a lot.
And loves dogs.

Aloha,
Weezard
