Seizures and Fits

Epilepsy is a common disease in dogs, less so in cats

Does Hemp and CBD help with Seizures (Fits) in Pets and People?
I will show you some studies and evidence of improved seizure control.

The response does tend to be somewhat variable with some patients responding extremely well but others not so great a response.

Seizures are a serious condition and you should always consult your veterinary surgeon and have her refer you to an experienced holistic veterinarian
