My Maltese weighs 8.5 Lbs at 3 years of age suddenly had leg shaking with urinating, could not eat related to her head shaking so badly, was uncoordinated and falling down. I decided to start with a lower dose of CBD oil 150mg/30ml at .1mg per lb the first week with no improvement in symptoms.( I gave .87mg or .17ml twice daily ). Dog was doing quite poorly as stated above.

The second week I increased to .17mg/per lb of body weight. ( I gave 1.5mg/.3ml twice daily). At this higher dosage my dog improved significantly and it’s really only been 4 days. In fact, results were noted the very first day of taking the higher dosage. I’d say her shaking has reduced by 80% and she is now able to eat without severe head tremors. I thought perhaps I’d up the dose next week depending on how she responds.

Thus far, it appears the CBD oil appeared to reduce symptoms faster than I anticipated but probably too soon for me to proclaim it’s a “miracle treatment”. Therefore, will keep you updated on my dog’s progress. Many thanks for your most helpful article and advice.

Hi Rosemary – I would give it a solid month to see how your dog responds. Make sure to administer the CBD every day. My favorite right now is made by a great company called King Kanine. They by far have the best transparency on the test results for their products. I would purchase this product – King Kalm 150mg and the recommended dose per King Kanine is .5ml per day and they also recommend starting with a higher dose for the first couple days if your pet has not taken CBD prior. I hope your pup gets better and we would love to hear how it goes after you try it out!
