So Phoenix now has a medical marijuana "card".
Phoenix was seriously doped up this weekend, having been given a cocktail of xanax, gabapentin, and rimadyl. He has been scratching non-stop and it is worrisome. Phoenix's doctors, bless them, cannot believe that I have taken on a project such as Phoenix. Phoenix has had tests and biopsies which have all come back inconclusive, meaning that there is no medical reason for him to scratch the way he does. This all leads to a probable diagnosis of Self Mutilation Disease, a type of obsessive-compulsive disorder. So, anyway, this cocktail left his system so severely depressed that we actually checked to make sure that he was breathing on several occasions. As scary as that was, it was also nice to see him get a respite from all of the scratching.

You can really see in the above photo how bad he is. Prescribed marijuana may be the magic elixir that causes Phoenix to become a normal dog. I really have nothing to lose with this. and a healthy and happy dog to gain.
Has anyone else tried medical marijuana for their dog? How did it work for you??
