I have a 20 year old B&G (since she was 7) and although i try to continually read and learn as much as possible about caring for her, everything i've found on the "internet" regarding using CBD oil with birds contradicts every other thing i've read on the internet. i don't like using the web as a *primary source for info, but even my vet has no info with regard to this new horizon of care . . .
Recently I lost my 16 year old pibble-dog to a spinal tumor that 3 neurologists said would kill her within weeks (after Dx). Because at that point we had NOTHING to lose, i put her on CBD and *NON-PSYCHOACTIVE* THC formulas (both from the marijuana side of Cannabis sativa - not the hemp) dialed down from human dosages that studies are showing seem to arrest the growth of tumors, and she lived almost 2 more good years. so there's that. The doctors were nothing short of amazed, as none of them had ever seen a dog with this condition not only live so long, but not die the horrible painful suffocation death they all said she would - as they encouraged me to euthanize her to "prevent that from happening".
i am curious if anybody can direct me to any published studies, or any anecdotal evidence, or even personal experience using CBD oil with birds. (Hemp OR non-pyschoactive marijuana formulas) She is pretty social, in excellent health, and spends most of her day out on a play stand. she has her private sleeping quarters, and a cage big enough for two, maybe three small children. i am investigating it mostly as to calm her when she gets upset when she is left alone (read: she's recently taken to screaming bloody murder if she can HEAR you, but not SEE you)
since she came to me, there have always been other critters around - furred, feathered, and scaled. she currently lives with three adults, 6 only cats, and a large moose-dog. she is not afraid of any of them - in fact she will chase them away and go into raptor mode if they invade "HER" time with me. This screaming behavior is new, while her environment has not changed. She's never really been that much of a screamer otherwise, she's not a destructo-matic - she is a LOVER, but the screaming when she is alone has to stop. She has a good life, but now that i've seen first hand how it has helped my pup, i'm wondering if there are any applications where it would be beneficial to birds.
thank you
