My oldest dog is blind in one eye with a cataract. Sometimes we call him Kenny after the South Park character because he's always under foot or bumping into things. The other day he pulled my laptop off the table and onto his head near his good eye. He had a big bump on his head and the area around his eye was swollen. He was in obvious pain and distress, even having panic attacks.
After talking with my husband, I decided to give him a tiny piece of a medicated cookie I had on hand. He calmed down and went to sleep within a few minutes. No more panic attacks. I gave him a little more before bed and he slept comfortably through the night. Although he was already doing much better the next day I gave him a little more just to help him rest. By the third day he was feeling all better, even wrestling with the other dogs and leading the way on our daily walks.
He's always been a tough little dog, but I was amazed at how well he recovered thanks to the blessings of ganja. I won't hesitate to medicate any of my dogs if the need arises again.
