I have heard of people using the RSO with dogs and have only heard good things. I wish I knew of RSO before I had to put my dog down a few years ago. I am sure I could have made his life better. His issue was old age and pain, no tumors or anything like that.Quote:

If you to try it, please let us know how it works out. Do not be alarmed if your dog seems "drunk". I did give my old dog some cooked cannabis before, and it did give him comfort, but it knocked him out. I had no idea of the benefits of cannabis at that time otherwise I would have given him some every evening so he could sleep. If I had known about RSO, I would have given him maintenance doses three times per day for his pain. He was old and arthritic, a large breed dog.
To me, my dogs are always considered a member of the family and will be treated as such. I understand your concerns.
The dr I spoke to suggested I start with just 2 mg of thc a day, along with a moderate dose of CBD. Then every few days increase the thc by 2 to 5 mgs a day. From my understanding RSO is so high in thc that this would be impossible? Should I just get a cbd powder that has a little thc?
I'm so glag you found Growgoddess (or she found you)! & I'm glad you found a Dr. Keep in mind RSO has both THC & CBD. You could always try canna butter. Ok, we need Weeze & Crystal. :)
thanks again. but maybe too much thc in RSO?it would be hard to get a small enough drop of oil wouldnt it..i read 1/3 of a drop is pretty strong for a human.Quote:

And the CBD inhibits the high of the THC as it's ratio increases.
It depends on the strain that it is extracted from, when harvested, how it is dried, and what extraction method is used.
The skill of the operator is a major factor as well.
That and the concentration of THC:CBD in the original resin is also variable.
So, every batch of oil is different in ratio, and concentration.
And you build a tolerance.
(I worked my way up to 1.25 Grams per day in 2 doses for a 190 pound male.)
Sound impossible to titrate?
It's actually not.
Weigh the dog, and do the math. :)
Then titration is easy.
Add one gram of oil to half a kilo, (about a pound) of butter.
Melt, stir, put it in the fridge.
That will give you about 2 milligrams of RSO per gram of butter.
If your oil 's concentration of THC is 50%, that makes 1 milligram of active ingredient per gram of cannabutter.
Then dosage is easy, almost all dogs love butter.
You will be able to tell when to back off, and when to increase dosage by the dogs reaction.

They get stoner's eyes just like we do.
Which can take over half an hour, so be cautious and always wait one hour before checking and or increasing.
You have a good doctor there.
Do you know the location, and type of cancer?
More information will help us, help your dog/
Aloha,
Weeze (Lover of all things doggish.)
Cheers for the info. I won't be cooking any oil at home, especially since I am renting a basement suite from a cop lol..not sure if he'd care or not.
The dr is a specialist for humans I reached out to via email and that was his off the record suggestion..he isn't local for me.
She has hemangiosarcoma, which was in her spleen. They removed the spleen. They believe it usually spreads elsewhere within 1 to 3 months and can show up in the liver, heart, lungs. She is 11, 60 lb husky.
One nice dispensary here just gave me a free bottle of CBD extract from alcohol..they said theres a small amount of THC in it..forget they said around 5 percent or so, though theres no info on the bottle and they didn't seem that knowledgable. I took a spray and felt a very nice mellow stone. Gave my dog a small lick off my finger and she seems normal, guessing I will give her a bit more.

My cat likes me to rub a little infused budder or coconut oil on his fur and he titrates himself- good luck!!
Post above was one day after stopping 8 month RSO regimen. Biggest problem back then was a 4 month bout with abdominal pain and excess gas. Did some reading on symptoms and figured out the Iodine regimen I was doing with Lugol's Iodine was probably giving me excess potassium in my system. Stopped the Iodine regimen and within 3 days started feeling much better. By day 7 I was feeling fantastic, with abdominal pain and gas reduced by about 90%. No pain for the first time in a year and a half has really helped my mental state, everything is right as rain now. Got another scan last week, Jan. 15th, and saw the oncologist a few days ago. He says a few lymph nodes are enlarged but less than 1 cm in size, just like the last scan. He's not worried about it and says I shouldn't be either. All other test results were good. Changed my 3 month follow-ups to 4 months. I'll be calling work tomorrow to set up an appointment for a return to work physical. Keeping my fingers crossed for now, hope my luck continues. Should have done my first maintenance dose a week ago but have to hold off until after the physical and piss test. Wish me luck and thanks again to all (especially GrowGoddess) for the help. I'll update as things progress.Quote:

If it is less than 60 pounds, treating him/her with high quality RSO, and I am talking really high quality, it could be a little difficult because it would be such a small dose, like a 1/3 of a grain of rice, and that is just to get started. Three times per day, as the tolerance gets better, increase the dose size. You can dilute the RSO with coconut oil, butter, peanut butter, alcohol if you are going to do a 50/50 dilution (only a couple of drops of whiskey or vodka three times per day should not be harmful to the dog (just my opinion or guess). I suppose if I were to treat a small dog, I would probably choose to dilute the oil with coconut oil or real butter.Quote:
