I would not give her cannabis oil without consulting with your veterinarian. We are not in a position legally to give out this kind of advice. In order to do legally so we would have to have a patient-veterinarian-owner relationship with you. Your veterinarian also knows your dog and the potential risks for your dog receiving cannabis oil.
