I feed my dogs "Freshpet" so today when I fed her I ground up a tiny bud of Lifesaver and mixed it into a small dollop of butter and fed it to her.She is just hanging out with me so I will be able to watch her for anything abnormal.I have about 30 grams total of 4 different strains..lifesaver..power skunk,white widow and Manatuska Thunderfuck, and outof that I use about 2 grams a day so I do not have enough to make RSo at this time.Do I have to decarb the weed to make it active enough to help her or is it ok to give her small amounts of duff or popcorn nugs mixed in fat os some kind?Thanks friends...Peace and One Love..BigD my Jack Russell is named Ellie aka Sweetie Bones..

I'd decarb it in butter personally. Dogs love butter and it's what I used to treat my dog.
You have plenty to make some strong butter and a tiny dog like yours wouldn't need hardly any at all. |

I used about 2.5 grams to 1 stick of AA butter.It is very green and the weed settled to the bottom.I put it into jelly jar to cool.I give her a thimble full every feeding.Which can be 1 or 2 times daily.I will try and get picks of her growth's one on her face and one on her leg.Evidence.....BigD

If you have any questions I suggest you go and email my good friend, Dr Doug Kramer, the first Veterinarian in the world to be openly using mmj to treat pets in palliative/hospice care. See below - California doc pushes for veterinary medical marijuana By William Breathes in Medical, News Wednesday, February 27, 2013 Here's one for our cannabis-friendly canine lovers out there: should dogs be allowed medical marijuana the same as humans? According to California veterinarian Dr. Doug Kramer the answer is a resounding yes. Not a medical or recreational cannabis user himself, Kramer nevertheless advocates for medical cannabis use. Kramer tells Dogser.com that he's been administering cannabis to pets for some time now after seeing medical marijuana patient pet owners come to him with stories of how they had seen success in their own animals. He says the catalyst came when his own dog, Nikita, developed cancer and he turned to cannabis as a way to help heal her and get her through the eventual end. ![]() Dr. Doug Kramer administers medical marijuana to Mason the Vizsla, who has late-stage cancer Kramer's outlook on cannabis for pets is the same as many doctors: it's a safer alternative to often-deadly pain medications, and when used properly it can be an amazing therapeutic substance. On his website, VetGuru.com, he posts a study he conducted that showed cannabis use could help decrease the dosage of opiates used for pain. "Overwhelming documented and empirical evidence suggests that there is a role for medicinal marijuana in veterinary medicine," Kramer wrote. "In many, many scientific studies, THC and its synthetic derivatives have been shown to be effective in most animal models of pain." ![]() After receiving his dose of medical marijuana, Mason looks very relaxed Other vets chime in throughout the article, including an Ohio vet who says he's frustrated that there isn't any interest in the subject beyond what Kramer is doing in California. He says he's all for using specific strains to target nausea, appetite and pain relief just like with humans. But marijuana's position as a Schedule I controlled substance with the feds pretty much kills any hope for veterinary research anytime soon (again, just like with humans). And since California's medical marijuana laws make no mention of animal use, Kramer acknowledges that he could be putting himself in a rough spot legally. But the benefit he sees with his patients outweighs the current dangers of pharmaceutical drugs that frequently cause overdoses in animals. "The decision was an easy one for me to make," he tells Dogster.com. "I refuse to condemn my patients to a miserable existence for self preservation or concerns about what may or may not happen to me as a consequence of my actions ... This is an issue of animal welfare, plain and simple. Remaining silent would represent a clear violation of the veterinarian's oath I took when I was admitted into this profession." The article also details how a Nevada woman who used whole-flower cannabis oil to help her dog battle a kind of doggie leukemia. The woman says that the prohibitive cost of chemotherapy kept her from taking that avenue when he was first diagnosed in 2010, but that after her Rottweiler became skin and bones at 64 pounds a few months later she knew she had to do something to save her four-legged friend. After some research, the woman - who the article doesn't name or go into much detail other than to note she's not a recreational cannabis user - found a recipe that mixed buds and leaves with coconut oil. She began giving it to her pooch, Sampson, who began a quick turnaround that kept him around for two more years. While we here at Toke are all for alternative healing options for our pets, it should be noted that getting your dog stoned just to get it stoned is still not cool. Kramer agrees, noting that cannabis toxicity in animals is a very real thing vets see very often. Though the pets don't die from cannabis consumption, they can get very sick - not unlike your friend Brian who ate too many brownies at that one Halloween party. As I pointed out in my weekly Denver Westword column, Ask a Stoner a few weeks ago: Your dog doesn't want to get high at all. What you're saying is you love to get your dog stoned, and you need to stop. Getting your dog (or cat for you lonely folks) high is the animal equivalent of giving a few puffs to a three- or four-year-old child with their already very narrow and limited understanding of the world around them. Your dog or cat really only wants your attention and would enjoy a walk around the block or a hike around a lake a whole helluva lot more. Well, maybe not the cat. They probably would just rather you got a laser pointer and went to town with it on your living room carpet. Source: https://www.tokeofthetown.com/2013/02...V1-l0.facebook |

I'd like to see their definition of 'very sick'. The friend Brian is sick because of the brownies and passed out because of the cannabis. Get real. I've yet to see an animal/mammal get 'sick' off of ingesting plain cannabis oil. Nearly comatose and completely relaxed for a day... yes. But Sick, by any definition of the word? Never. Stay Safe!

What exactly does it take? Radical lifestyle change! No eating of any processed food. Close to 100% raw food Alkaline water Alkaline juices (concentrates) Its the same with the cannabis treatment. You can have 1 part/dose processed hash oil and get pretty baked ("sick") or have a up to 60 times that dose unprocessed as a juice. 60 times the dose!!! Without getting baked at all... I would be doing it ALL |

Juicing cannabis is indeed a terrific way to medicate pets. They will be quite sedated but as 99% of the THC is un-decarboxylated, the high would be minimal. But, I do have advice from Manuel Guzman that when treating skin cancers, use a high THC decarboxylated cannabis oil.
I think Dr Kramer using the word "sick" was quite apt and fits snugly into this definition. sick /sik/ Adjective Affected by physical or mental illness: "we were sick with bronchitis"; "visiting the sick and the elderly". Noun Vomit. Verb Bring something up by vomiting. Synonyms adjective. ill - diseased - unwell - sickly - ailing - morbid noun. vomit verb. hound |

Contaminated bud? Yeah, the dog puked in 10 minutes, after eating a joints worth of some bud I suspect had been sprayed with something. Crap gave me a headache after 2 hits and made me feel funny. Never clean cannabis or cannabis oil though. So, no... I'd have to say "sick" is not appropriate in any way. Stay Safe!

I have seen my friends get sick from cupcakes we were eating, i have had some people get sick when taking too many of my caps, and i had to rush my parents dog to the vet after she got into our cookies. She was vomiting, very weak could barely keep her eyes open.
I would like to know the best way to help my Shepard with his arthritis as the current meds turn his stomach. |
