My readers know I think ?out of the box? when it comes to pets. After all, I create music for dogs (and cats soon) that relieves anxiety issues. Canine sound therapy isn?t exactly seen as a mainstream behavior solution in the pet world. I have put my reputation as a concert pianist on the line because of my deep desire to help improve the lives of dogs and cats. So, you can imagine how intrigued I was when I read about? Dr. Doug Kramer, BVMS, MRCVS in Dogster. He is putting his professional veterinary career at risk to help relieve the pain and suffering of pets. He can?t legally write a prescription for cannabis, but he can give recommendations. He provides professional consultations that include instructions in how to administer cannabis to pets. I recently had the pleasure of speaking to Dr. Kramer. ?My goal is to provide palliative care and prevent accidental overdoses resulting from owners? well-meaning attempts to relieve their pets? pain and suffering,? he said.
Dr. Kramer saw firsthand how cannabis can benefit dogs through watching his Husky dog, Niki, when she was in the late stages of cancer. ?After the first dose, she was up and about. Her appetite was restored and she was able to enjoy her last months because of a homemade tincture of cannabis I created for her. The pain appeared to be controlled and her quality of life increased dramatically.?
Dr. Kramer takes his veterinary oath very seriously: ?Being admitted to the profession of veterinary medicine, I solemnly swear to use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health and welfare, the prevention and relief of animal suffering, the conservation of animal resources, the promotion of public health, and the advancement of medical knowledge.?
Dr. Kramer's Patient Thanks Him
He believes he is living up to that oath when he includes cannabis consultations as part of his overall treatment plan for pet patients through his veterinary practice Enlightened Veterinary Therapeutics.
