1. Dying Cat Makes a Comeback
More than 15-years prior, an Australian woman left home to get a Christmas tree and instead came home with a rescue kitten that she named Charli.
After over a decade together, Charli and her owners were incredibly close. So when Charli suddenly lost the ability to walk, they were worried. They rushed her to the vet, where they discovered he had a neurological disorder of some kind.
Unfortunately, money was tight, and Charli’s owners couldn’t afford thousands of dollars for diagnosis and ongoing treatments. They thought that their only option was to put down their beloved cat.
Then, they started researching CBD treatments. With nothing to lose, they gave it a try.
Within hours, Charli had begun to regain strength in her legs. She could sit up within a few days and was back to eating and drinking. Just a month later, Charli was her old self again, with very few signs of what she had gone through.
2. No More Fear of Fireworks
When Chicago-native Annie adopted a six-week-old mixed breed dog from a shelter, she quickly realized what a great choice she had made. Cubbie was easy to train, friendly, and healthy.
However, when Cubbie turned five-years-old, he developed a terrible fear of fireworks. Every Fourth of July, Cubbie would become incredibly scared and even destructive, tearing apart a brand new carpet.
One year later, he also became scared of thunderstorms.
Cubbie’s owner tried a variety of products, like Thunder Shirts and anxiety meds, but they didn’t work. Until Annie turned to CBD.
With the help of CBD oil, Cubbie can relax and enjoy time with his beloved owner, no matter how loud the thunder or fireworks get outside!
3. Cat with a Cancerous Tumor Gets His Life Back
When a British cat named Ginger developed a large tumor on his paw, his owner thought that he would have to be put down.
Ginger was given steroids and medications by his vet, but the tumor continued to grow and the cat began to lose weight. With few options, the owner turned to CBD oil, simply as a way to ease his pet’s suffering.
Instead, the tumor began to shrink, Ginger gained weight, and he got his strength back. While it’s impossible to say whether CBD oil is responsible alone for all of these changes, it’s clear that it helped give a cat with no hope a new lease on life.
4. 12-Year-Old Boxer with Cancer Experiences Relief
No one wants to think about our beloved four-legged children aging, or about them facing terminal illnesses.
Unfortunately, our pets’ lives are far shorter than our own. And they can develop a variety of forms of cancer and other conditions, much as we can.
As one dog owner watched as his beloved Boxer faced not just a terminal cancer diagnosis, but also a bad cough, glaucoma, and dry fur and skin, he felt helpless. Even though he knew that his 12-year-old dog’s life expectancy was short, he wanted to do whatever he could to ease her suffering.
That’s when he turned to CBD.
By introducing CBD oil to her diet and medication plan, the owner watched in wonder as his aging boxer finally experienced some relief to her symptoms.
The dog’s fur became soft once more and even became as shiny as it had been when his pet was much younger. It also began to shed less than it had been.
Her eyes cleared, with the white marks that come with age and glaucoma beginning to fade.
With just a couple of drops of CBD oil daily, this owner was able to help make his beloved pet more comfortable, healthier, and happier, even as she faced cancer.
5. Aging Cat Relaxes and Enjoys Comfort in His Old Age
It isn’t just dogs that can experience some relief and comfort in their old age with the help of CBD products.
Zaphod the cat was already 14 years old, and his owner worried that his health was declining fast.
He had once been a happy, active, affectionate cat. He would jump, pounce, and play daily. He also loved a good cuddle with his owners from time to time.
But now, the black cat enjoyed a few of the pastimes he once did. He slept a lot and didn’t move around very much. He would awake in the middle of the night and wander around in circles, meowing at nothing at all.
Zaphod also no longer wanted to be touched by his human companions, let alone be picked up or cuddled.
Even though his owners knew he didn’t have a lot of time left, they wanted to make what time he did have a lot more comfortable. That’s when they decided to try CBD oil.
They started by adding a couple of drops of CBD oil to Zaphod’s food. Once they found the right dose, they noticed a big difference in their feline’s behavior. He can now be picked up and even cuddled, and in general, seems to be in far less pain.
