Quote:Cannabis helps relieve the pressure glaucoma puts on eyes, thus relieving the pain. I would never give marijuana to my dog (Ok, I've shotgunned a hit to a dog before, in my feral youth) but I wonder if a small amount would help.

Quote:Do you have to smoke it for it to help, or can he slip some in his dogs puppy chow?

Quote:Veterinarian Doug Kramer from Los Angeles has developed a special tincture for dogs and cats made with marijuana called Canine Companion. The tincture is sold in medical-marijuana dispensaries and is designed to treat animals for pain, inflammation, and end-of-life health issues. As with medical marijuana for humans, it is personal experience that usually precedes involvement. Kramer had a similar experience with his dog as I did with Monkey. Marijuana eased the pain during her final weeks. The marijuana caused her to stop whimpering and start eating, gaining weight, and acting more like herself. It wasn’t a cure, but he believed it helped alleviate her pain during her last days. For human caregivers, this relief is really all we want for our animal companions.
