Is CBD oil good for my senior dog's pain, tumor, and anxiety?

Question

Hi! My German Shepherd Mix is 14 years old and has a bone spur on her spine which makes standing for extended periods hard and also she loses her balance easily. She also has an egg size tumor under her arm and has separation anxiety. Would CBD oil be a help to her? Thank you! Jessica.

Before trying CBD I would suggest to have her checked and treated with more conventional (and reliable in terms of efficacy) pain relief medication (anti-inflammatories, opioids and many other options are available). The tumor needs to be ideally assessed by your veterinarian to have a definitive and specific answer. Usually there are two ways your vet can do that a part from examining it directly during physical examination. A biopsy can be taken under local or general anesthetic, otherwise a smaller sample through a fine needle can be aspirated (this technique is called FNA= fine needle aspiration). Differentials include skin cysts, infections, benign or more sinister type of tumors.
