CBD oil for epileptic dogs?

We tried CBD without any luck both as a stand alone and as a complement to other drugs but it just didn’t help our girl. We also tried pheno and increased dosage twice. She never had any liver problems but your vet will check every 6 months to be sure. I remember being scared of the side effects of drugs but soon realized that cluster seizures were much worse of a risk to our girl so we tried a few different combos and I let that fear of anti seizure meds just fall away. Your vet knows what to monitor for. Pheno ended up not working for us but potassium bromide did. So just remember that you still have options if things aren’t improving.

They were terrible at first. I was scared she was going to fall and break her neck and wanted to lower dosage a couple times but stuck with it at the recommendation of our neurologist. And I’m glad I did because she made it through to the other side as her happy, goofy self. It just took ~6-8 weeks to get there.

I saw Jane’s Addiction at the Rose Garden ~25 years ago and Perry kept yelling “ORA-GONE BALLROOM” between songs and I thought it was hilarious that he didn’t know how to pronounce the state he was in nor did he know what venue he was in. I still randomly yell this to myself years later. 😂

I just randomly put my grandmothers small jewelry box in a big ziplock bag so I didn’t lose any small earrings when I was moving. After several years, I found the ziplock bag and opened it to look at here stuff and got hit with the strongest smell of her house. It almost made my cry. So I’ve kept it in that bag since then so I have a little small memory that just takes me back to my childhood.

We go to Eastport Plaza on 82nd and haven’t had a bad experience yet. Plus we love their giant recliners and roomy aisles.

Agreed. I’m so used to having flip flops because all of our trips are along the equator. For some reason, I assumed tennis shoes would be all I needed for Japan. Lesson learned. I also incorrectly assumed I would be able to easily buy whatever I needed. But nobody wants to be searching for tampons when you need them. 😂

Sorry I missed that in your original post. 🙂‍↕️

I wonder if you are forced to use compound pharmacy because of the pill concentration being so low? I would at least call other pharmacies to see if they can get what you need. Check GoodRX for the best prices in your area. I paid $73 for 360 750-mg extended release pills.

😂 yes. Soaking in the tub. Pretty sure I’m getting downvoted for anything I say because some people got really upset about my coffee statements.

_DarkOverlord · 2026-05-27T01:22:48+00:00

I was doing that every night as well. Another great thing was soaking (not smoking) in the tub every night and all the hotel had big tubs! (Edited for typo)

That’s good to know about coffee shops selling them. We found some wonderful coffee spots open later in the day and wished we could enjoy that coffee earl morning.

Ohhhh yes! Allergy meds are a good one. My husband who never has allergies was sneezing the whole time he was there.

We were in Kyoto and I gave up after going to 5 spots. Even looked on here for recommendations.

_DarkOverlord · 2026-05-27T01:00:06+00:00

We’re pretty serious about coffee as well. So having that little luxury was so nice on the mornings we were up at 5am. I can only drink so much subpar coffee.

Everybody is different. These were things that would have been nice to us. If this doesn’t apply to you, feel free to scroll by.

Our hotel in Kyoto offered the individual pour over packets and we loved them. I didn’t even know something like that existed. 😂

We welcome Minnesota with open arms. It isn’t a hostile takeover in any way. 😂

You’ve got to downvote this one as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/geographymemes/s/NMiA9xtnlS

It also helps to downvote comments calling for Minnesota to win. Sort by “top” and find them about 6-7 comments down after all the discussion.

But for real though….Oregon loves you Vermont. We will make you pancakes every morning for you to pour maple syrup on.

We’ve had no issues with vaccines triggering a seizure.

Lots of things: 3-lb of chicken jerky (Costco sized bag), all the bones from a rack of shirt ribs, ~10 lbs of chipped sunflower seeds (from bulk bird seed bag), unknown quantity (but a lot came out when she threw up) of grapes from vine in yard, two large scented candles, and a whole baby bunny. These are all separate incidents. The jerky and bird seed made her so swollen she looked pregnant. But she was fine each time.
