CBD for Dogs: Can It Shrink Tumors?

CBD for Dogs Can It Shrink Tumors

Dog owners are becoming more aware of the possibility that their pet might develop a type of cancer at some point in their lives. It is said that one out of three canines suffers from this horrible disease, which has made it the main cause of death for dogs over two years old. As you can see, it isn’t an uncommon phenomenon and humans are working hard on its prevention and treatment, now that they know this illness is not reserved for people only.

Medical marijuana has been used in human cancer treatment for quite some time now. However, certain states in the US are explicit in their medical-marijuana laws about allowing only CBD products with minimal to zero THC content. You can check this guide on the legal status of marijuana by state.

It appears that there are similar medicines today that can help canines fight the illness. I discovered it by stumbling upon what is not just another pet site that teaches you to train your dogs and similar stuff. On the contrary, this one deals with cannabis-based medications that are widely used to ease the suffering of your canines, linked to all kinds of medical conditions.

Before I get to that part, though, I want to make sure that you know the difference between tumors and cancer. Plus, as you already know, it is important to notice this condition in its early stages. That’s why you need to be on alert and ready to react should you see any dangerous signs in your pup. Chances of curing this disease significantly increase if it is caught early. Therefore, it is important to get yourself informed.

Cancer Vs. Tumor

If a veterinarian tells you that your little tail-wagger has a tumor, don’t start panicking just yet. I understand that it sounds scary, but this might not necessarily be a great problem. A tumor is an abnormal cell growth in the body. It can be benign, which means that it won’t spread, so you don’t have to freak out. Yet, tumors can sometimes be malignant, which means they can spread.

Do you see the difference now? Cancer occurs when cells divide and multiply too quickly, due to their genetic mutations. In this case, the tumors start growing and stopping that growth is of utmost significance. Simply put, not every tumor has to evolve in a cancer. Nevertheless, if you notice anything like this in your doggie, you should contact a vet immediately.

Signs

Keep in mind that your pooch might not exhibit any signs in the early stages. This is why you should take them for regular checkups and stop skipping vet appointments. However, you should be aware of the symptoms that come with the disease and act immediately upon noticing them, without waiting for your next scheduled appointment. Let’s check those symptoms out.

Some of the signs include wounds that don’t seem to heal for a long time. This can be followed by abnormal bleeding and swelling in the abdomen. Furthermore, limping for no apparent reason can also be a symptom of cancer. And, naturally, any abnormal lumps, especially the ones that appear to be changing, should be reported to the veterinarian at once. Don’t forget to keep track of any accompanying symptoms that might occur and explain everything to the animal expert.

CBD And Treatment

Now, let us get back to the topic of treatment. As I have mentioned above, there is a cannabis-based medicine that is increasing in popularity when it comes to all kinds of illnesses developed by the man’s best friend. This is a product made from cannabidiol, i.e. a hemp compound that was found to have more than a few healing properties.

With medical marijuana taking over the market, it’s no wonder that a product like this appeared for pets as well. But, there is a difference in these medicines. Cannabidiol, or CBD, is known to have no psychoactive effects, which means that you don’t have to be concerned about intoxicating your dog if you use this drug in its treatment process.

People usually use it in the form of oil, but there are also some other types you can find. And although some individuals are still on the fence when it comes to the decision of incorporating CBD in any healing process, it has been proved that the medicine is completely safe. What’s more, it seems to play a significant role when it comes to fighting cancer and shrinking tumors, as well as treating some other conditions. See here.

When it comes to cancer, studies have shown that this product can lead to apoptosis. If you don’t know what that means, let me make it as clear as possible. Apoptosis is the death of cancer cells. With that happening, the existing tumors will stop growing, and some might even shrink. That is a vital step in the whole battle with cancer and CBD appears to be highly beneficial in that regard.

Furthermore, it can help ease some of the other unpleasant symptoms that can arise with the development of this disease. Those include pain, nausea, loss of appetite and similar. CBD has anti-convulsing and anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it perfect for solving the mentioned issues.

While you cannot expect cannabidiol to cure the cancer completely, it seems to be vital during the process. Easing the symptoms will help your dog live a better life. Plus, inducing apoptosis means that the chances of beating the disease significantly increase – and that can save your pup’s life.
