With several states deregulating marijuana in the past year, a California veterinarian is sparking debate over whether America's sick pets could benefit from some bud.
Doug Kramer, the pet doctor behind the Vet Guru animal veterinary center, tells a compelling story of how his dog, Nikita, used a THC treatment to "increase her quality of life" while she suffered from untreatable cancer.
"She had gone through all of the traditional pain medications, even steroids. When it became clear that she was nearing the end, that's when she had nothing to lose, as long as it didn't hurt her," the vet told Vice Magazine. "At the first dosage, she was up and around."
Kramer sells a guide on his website that instructs readers how to create an herbal extract in their own home, though for legal reasons he has removed all references to medicinal marijuana in his book. He thinks treating pets with medicinal marijuana could help owners to put off putting their ill pets down without the guilt of knowing they are in pain.
