Well, I gave this stressed out boi a CBD chew in his dinner as he would refuse the chew alone or with peanut butter. After that he was very relaxed, so much so that he laid down to sleep.
I took him for a walk an hour and a half later. Hallelujah! He had normal poop! After pooping we walked back home. Princeton then proceeded to lay down and sleep.
Then, we had to leave to pick up The Pack Leader (Hubbz) from the airport. Touch down was 11:30PM. I was a little concerned that Princeton may have a bout of diarrhea while we were out.
Coming home at midnight Hubbz calls out to Princeton. Prince was lounging so relaxed and needed assistance getting up. He came out to greet Hubbz. There was no whining no excited behavior. Just very calm relaxed slow walk around and receiving of pets.
After their reunion, Prince went to lay back down and sleep. He slept so soundly, until the morning. Gone was the pacing, the frequent water drinking and the constant licking of a hotspot. At his usual wake time Princeton was still very sound asleep. I did not rouse him. I figured, he will get up when he’s ready to eat.
Princeton had breakfast an hour later than usual. He ate almost all his food. I brought his bowl out so he could take his time finishing it. He drank some water and peed in the backyard. Then he returned inside to resume sleeping.
I read that the effects of CBD lasts 8-10 hours. At this point, it’s been well past that time. Prince is still relaxed, with no whine. We’ve come to accept Prince’s high pitched whines (a la Lassie) aa part of his personality. But with CBD, he was not whiney or barkey at least all the time since he had the CBD chew.
I’ll walk him when it’s been an hour after breakfast. Like the calm. Like the lack of constant licking. Not so fond of the lethargy and lack of vocals. All I’ve heard from him so far are grunts, as if he were saying “awe man I don’t want to get up.
I will go back to work today since Pack Leader stays home today for jet lag recovery.
