Those who live with a pet know how difficult it is to see them lose mobility or quality of life due to an illness. Problems such as osteoarthritis, seizures, or pain have sparked interest in studying whether certain cannabinoids could have any utility in veterinary medicine.<\/p>\n\n
One of the cases that brought visibility to this topic was that of American veterinarian Doug Kramer<\/strong>, known as the “Vet Guru.” When his dog Nikita was suffering from terminal cancer, Kramer decided to explore the use of cannabis with the intention of alleviating her discomfort in her final days.<\/p>\n\n His story reflects how far someone might go to improve their pet’s quality of life, although it is an individual experience and not a test of efficacy for other animals. The case was covered by the American Veterinary Medical Association<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
