Well…it’s about time for a cannabis update. Good news. Bad news. Medium news. So I started on my hemp terpene oil and was all excited about the prospect of no seizures. Within two days, I had one. I couldn’t even write about it – my human was SO disappointed. BUT we learned that for a normal starting dose, I should be taking 1 mg for every kg I weigh. I’m not exactly a heavyweight – I’m only around 18 kg. But the first two days, I was only taking 4 mg. So my human upped my dosage to 12 mg per day. One week went by. No seizures. Two weeks. No seizures. Three weeks. No seizures. Now keep in mind that before this, I was having one or two seizures every two weeks. So when we got to the three week mark, my human was ALL excited. We planned to write an update ( and have a party ) if I made it to one month seizure-free. On Saturday I was just 4 days short of a month – and I had one. So it’s not really good news. But it’s not really bad news either. I guess it’s medium news. We have now increased my dosage to 16 mg. Hopefully this will be the answer...but IF it doesn't work - we CAN continue to go up a fair bit from this starting point. Paws crossed.
In GOOD news – my human was overwhelmed with all the birthday greetings she got yesterday. The world is really not such a big place! All the more reason to be nice to one another… Thanks to each and every one who sent her best wishes. She tried to thank everyone - but if she missed someone, she apologizes. And we boys were good yesterday. We let her sleep in until 5:30…
And in other news – today we plan to be so bad we will blow off the roof. Just kidding – but we ARE getting a new roof. My human says it’s one of those things that costs a lot of money but you don’t REALLY appreciate it – like you would new flooring, or a new kitchen or a new bathroom or a marrow bone. But I guess a roof IS kind of important. My human will be home with us – so Einstein doesn’t bark out instructions for the roofers all day. Woofers and roofers may not mix well. We shall see. This could be interesting….
Anyway, have a good one! Peace and paws up!
