Why are things so broken? ? ? Pancreatitis means pain to dogs. Managing the pain until the flare up is over is really the only treatment but check this out: veterinarians have their hands tied when it comes to prescribing legitimate pain management prescriptions due to the bunk execution of the “war on drugs” in the US and in my state. My doctor can’t prescribe the best pain medication for me because of the “war” on opiates. I can only get something barely effective or something wayyyyy too strong. The middle-ground isn’t an option solely because of a poorly conceived concept of how to reduce opiate addiction (hint: it’s not by making legitimate pain medication inaccessible for those who need it - human OR animal!). On the other end of things, there are also medications that may help that my doctor can not even bring up! #CBD is still strictly controlled in my state and even though it is federally legal I am not allowed to take it with the guidance of a doctor because BUREAUCRACY IS SLOW. This system is broken. You don’t rip necessary medication from patients who need it. You don’t die the hands of medical professionals from talking about medications. All because you want the appearance of doing something without actually doing anything. #painmanagement #veterinary #cannabis #canineCBD https://www.instagram.com/sadchihuahua/p/BtRA3WonaMu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rec86oiaykfq
