The aim of this case series is to report the use of full spectrum medical cannabis (vijaya) for treating symptoms such as pain, inflammation, impaired mobility. Four Labrador breed patients between 6 years to 8 years, suffering from acute mobility issues were diagnosed with OA and HD. All patients were administered 4 drops of the full spectrum oil, orally, twice daily. After one month of the treatment, there was significant change in the pain markers with improved mobility. The recommended dose is 0.16 mg/kg/body wt for management of OA and HD related pain and inflammation. A boost in appetite and quality of life was also observed.
