Does anyone have any experience with Hemp Oil for their pup? My girl has mast cell cancer. She is on prednisone, 2 different chinese herbs, benedryl and pepcid. But I recently read an article on Hemp Oil
Heidi! Welcome back, we are so glad you posted.
I personally don't have any experience with hemp oil but it's been talked about it before. Here is one discussion which I see you just found 🙂
Medical Marijuana supplement for dogs (not a joke!)

Folks I wanted to add that Heidi is one of the first members of the Tripawds Nation. Her gorgeous hero Titan joined us because of bone cancer. In fact, she provided the first seroma photos we ever shared to help others recognize this post-op issue.
Is this a great photo of these two or what?
Heidi and her pack go way back with us, she's a long-time supporter. We're saddened that she's dealing with cancer in her sweet Mazy, it's so not fair. But we know that the love and support of the Tripawds Nation will help make it easier.
This is Mazy. Ain't she a beauty?

I wish I had some info to add regarding the hemp oil. I know Izzy's mast cell tumor responded well to prednisone but adding palladia (made by a compounding pharmacy to save on the cost) has made it nearly impossible to find the tumor. Sounds like you're hoping for a more holistic approach, which I completely understand.
Hope all goes well for your sweet baby. Love the photos!!
Momma to the world's most beautiful American Bulldog, Izzy!! Lost her front leg to OSA 9/18/15. Diagnosed w MCT in June 2016. Celebrated her 1 year ampuversary with knee surgery on 9/18/16! MCT recurrence in Dec 2016. Happy & hungry til nearly 14, earning her wings on 7/31/17.
I'm sorry you are dealing with mast cell- I see in your post in the other thread that she has multiple tumors that are not operable.
My quad-pug Tani had recurring MCTs. She had three removed when she was about 6 years old then it came back when she was about 11. I had a couple tumors removed at that point with a minor surgery (just the tumors) but before the path report came back I found a couple more tumors. I actually don't remember how many tumors she ended up having, more than 10, maybe as many as 14. Because of her age and other issues I chose to go the holistic route. We saw a holistic vet who helped me with her diet and prescribed a couple Chinese herbs and I added K9 Immunity Plus. Tani lived to be almost 15 years old and the mast cell was not a factor when she passed.
I don't have any experience with hemp oil- hopefully you can find some useful information.
Best of luck with Mazy, keep us posted on how she is doing.
