Hip dysplasia is most common in dwarf, large, and giant purebred dogs, although mixed breeds are certainly not immune. According to the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA), Bulldogs and Pugs have the highest rates of hip dysplasia at 72.6% and 64.3%.

Hip dysplasia is an abnormal formation of the hip socket thatcan eventually cause crippling lameness and painful arthritis of the joints. Hip dysplasia is characterized by weakness or lameness in the hind end, limping or favoring one rear leg over another, reduced energy levels, lack of interest in play or exercise, stiff or swaying gait, “Bunny hopping” when running, difficulty getting up from a sitting or lying position, loss of muscle mass in the thigh, pain in the hip area when touched, “Clicking” sound in the hips when walking and trouble running, jumping or climbing stairs.

Treatment for hip dysplasia in pets includes exercise, joint supplements, acupuncture, laser therapy, stem cell treatment, surgery and prescribed medication. Medications used to treat hip dysplasia include Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs).

While this class of pharmaceuticals is excellent for reducing painful inflammation in the hips they also contain negative side effects that include vomiting, loss of appetite, depression, diarrhea, stomach ulcers, liver failure, kidney failure, and even death can occur in certain cases.

CBD is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the hemp plant known for its potential therapeutic effects. CBD works by interacting with your dog’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) which is made up of specialized receptors throughout the nervous system and body.

CBD helps address imbalances throughout the immune system and organs to prevent and alleviate chronic pain, inflammation, anxiety, altered sleep patterns, digestive problems, and more. Since hip dysplasia is an inflammatory condition, many vets prescribe NSAIDs to their patients. However, CBD has shown to be a safer, more natural alternative.

CBD is a powerful, natural anti-inflammatory that may help with hip dysplasia without the harmful side effects that come with prescribed medications. CBD interacts with receptors in the brain to influence the way your dog processes pain signals. Studies regarding CBD and chronic pain have proven so effective, some researchers consider it a whole new class of pain reliever.

There are a few CBD products that could help your canine companion with their hip dysplasia. If the pain level is 1-5 small dogs can take Bailey’s 300mg Tincture and larger breeds can take Bailey’s 600mg Tincture.

If the pain level is 6-10 your pet can take our AHS 500mg Pet Tincture. CBD infused dog treats in 3-5 mg can also help with the pain and inflammation caused by hip dysplasia.

Always consult your veterinarian before starting your furry friend on a new treatment.

CBD and Wellness

Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life. Wellness is more than being free from illness, it is a dynamic process of change and growth. Traditionally we treat our bodies with over-the-counter medications and prescriptions to obtain overall wellness.

However, CBD may serve as a more natural alternative for a healthier and well-balanced lifestyle. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a compound derived from the hemp plant known for its potential therapeutic effect. Research shows that CBD may help with an array of conditions as well as maintain general wellness without the negative side effects of prescribed medications.

Our bodies are in a constant quest for balance also known as ‘Homeostasis’. Homeostasis is a term used to describe the process of maintaining internal balance in an ever-changing external environment. In humans, homeostasis refers to a plethora of individual yet interdependent processes that ultimately keep our bodies functioning properly.

The Endocannabinoid system (ECS) works to maintain homeostasis by using cannabinoid receptors to monitor reactions in the body. When a discrepancy is detected, cannabinoids are synthesized to interact with receptors. Then they stimulate a chemical response to address the issue.

The difference between cannabinoid receptors and other receptors in the body is that they incite two-way communication. This means that cannabinoid molecules can exchange information to achieve the desired result and balance.

The introduction of CBD into this system can increase the effectiveness of the endocannabinoid system. Which gives your body the ability to remain in balance and achieve optimal health and overall wellness.Our SoCal Hemp co. 600mg tincture can be taken sublingually and is perfect for maintaining general wellness. 20mg of CBD per day can be taken in the morning or night to allow the body to go into homeostasis.

Always consult your primary care physician before starting a new treatment. Our team of specialists are always available to provide you with education and assist you with any questions regarding CBD.

How CBD Helps Pets with Glaucoma

admin — Thu, 07 Nov 2019 19:53:14 +0000

Glaucoma is common in certain dog breeds that are genetically predisposed, such as Samoyeds, Cocker Spaniels, Poodles, Chow Chows, and Siberian Huskies. Unfortunately, 40 percent of dogs affected by Gluacoma will become blind in the affected eye within the first year, regardless of medical or surgical treatment.

Glaucoma is a condition in which pressure is placed on the eye, causing inadequate fluid drainage. There are two main types of Glaucoma, primary and secondary. Primary Glaucoma is caused by the eye’s inability to drain through the filtration angles and is characterized by high pressure within the eye, dilated pupil, cloudy appearance in the eye, enlargement of the eye and vision loss.

Secondary Glaucoma is caused by eye infections and is characterized by inflammatory debris visible in the eye, constricted pupil, sticking of the iris to cornea or lens, headaches and loss of appetite. Treatment for Glaucoma in pets include different types of optical surgeries and prescribed medications.

Medications used to treat Canine Glaucoma include Betaxolol, Methazolamide, Pilocarpine, Latanoprost and Mannitol. Each prescribed medication contains negative side effects that include headache, dizziness, insomnia, gastrointestinal disturbance,tachypnea, vomiting, diarrhea, increased salivation, increased urination, coughing, and pulmonary edema. CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive chemical compound derived from the hemp plant known for its potential therapeutic effects.

Studies found that CBD may be able to reduce intraocular pressure in dogs with glaucoma as well as help protect some cells in the eye against glaucoma.

CBD may also help manage the pain and discomfort caused by Canine Glaucoma since it contains natural analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. The SoCal Hemp co tincture can be given to your dog to help alleviate symptoms of Glaucoma. Dosing will depend on your dog’s weight, dogs 1lb to 60lbs would use the 600mg tincture and dogs 61lbs to 150lbs would use the 1200mg tincture. Always consult your Veterinarian before starting your furry friend on a new treatment.
