A playful and loving yellow love retriever. Please come here. And she was always the cutest, most playful dog. She is a ball chaser, ocean wave, jumper, and couch snuggler. Hey CBD users, open your mouth. As Maddie got older, she started limping more and more after playing, even though she never had that before. She has a bad back and can't jump high, so she has to pick her up now and put her in her car. Natalie Teigan and her family first consulted a veterinarian about Maddie's mobility issues. The vet recommended a drug called GABA. Pentin comes to help Maddie's aging body as she approaches her 10th birthday. Last year, we realized we needed to step up and try something different. The difference is that you take 1.3ml of Dr. Fossum's CBD oil directly into your mouth every morning before breakfast. Dr. Fossum's Pet Care is a company founded by two veterinarians who were pursuing a personal mission to support aging laboratories. Dunn CBD for Dogs is another supplement that may help your four-legged friend in pain, although it's not supported by much research. , stress, anxiety, even seizures. Almost all pet owners want to give their pet a CBD oil supplement. Many people accept it. It's kind of a selling point to be able to cure everything. Well, there's CBD oil in everything out there. While CBD is considered mostly safe, the THC found in many of the cannabis varieties discussed on tonight's show is toxic to dogs. Since marijuana became legal, more marijuana-related addictions have occurred, and people have also become more positive about marijuana. And most of the time it's cooking oil, or brownies, or something along those lines. Come on, come on, stay close. Dr. Liz Rozanski and Dr. Stephanie Klein of Tufts University's Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine say they see at least a few high dogs a week in their emergency rooms. Symptoms usually vary slightly. Often they become lethargic. They are dripping urine. As a result, people and they can easily be taken aback. I would like to add that in some more serious cases, they are the most common signs we see. However, it can progress to severe respiratory depression. Now, dogs can lose their gag reflex. Standard care for dogs that have ingested THC is to use IV fluids and keep the dog in a quiet, quiet, and safe space. But Dr. Klein, a veterinary school resident, is working on a research study in hopes of speeding recovery in dogs that have ingested THC, with the help of fat. We have confirmed that THC, the substance in marijuana that causes clinical symptoms, is lipophilic or lipophilic. So the idea is that if you administer lipids or fats intravenously, you can help bind toxins, eliminate toxins more quickly, and eliminate clinical symptoms more quickly as well. And it should be added that THC is also toxic to other animals. Most other animals cats, horses. That's why veterinarians say to use extreme caution when keeping cannabis in your home. Be sure to store it safely. A place where animals cannot accidentally approach. That's tonight's Chronicle. Thank you very much for your participation. I'm Anthony Everett and Shayna Seymour. Have a great weekend!
