Overview

Dog inflammation is a complex biological response of the dog's body tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants, and is a protective response involving immune cells, blood vessels, and molecular mediators to repair the body.Just as people may suffer from bronchitis, colitis, arthritis, tonsillitis or a range of other inflammatory (or itis ) conditions, so too can your dog. Inflammation is the body's immune response against foreign substances, injuries or infection. It can also result from autoimmune diseases, in which the body triggers an inflammatory response when there aren't any invaders to battle.Dog inflammation occurs when plasma and white blood cells are drawn to a part of the body to fight infection, take away dead cells and initiate tissue repair. Increased blood flow to the area causes the region to appear reddened and feel warm. The blood vessels become more permeable, and leak fluid into the surrounding tissue, causing swelling. Chemicals are released into the tissue or blood to fight infection and do other jobs. But inflammation comes with a price: Increased pressure from swelling, along with the release of certain chemicals such as bradykinin and histamine, stimulate nerve endings and cause pain. Anytime you see inflammation, expect that your dog hurts.In addition, chronic inflammation and pain can predispose your dog to certain diseases, even some types of cancer. And more evidence is compiling that chronic inflammation is far more common than we once thought.Sometimes inflammation is obvious. A dog with a recent cut or burn will have inflamed tissue in the injured area; a dog with an ear infection will often have an inflamed ear canal; a dog with periodontal disease will have inflamed gums; a dog with an allergic reaction to fleas will have inflamed skin. Sometimes the inflammation is internal and not so obvious; a dog with an inflamed prostate, pancreas or kidney may be in intense pain, but you can't see the cause.CBD oil for dogs is one of the hottest trends today because studies have shown CBD oil for dogs has exceptional therapeutic value. Cannabis plants produce both hemp and marijuana and contain more than 113 chemicals called cannabinoids; including phytocannabinoids, terpenoids, and flavonoids. The two main ones are CBD or cannabidiol and THC or tetrahydrocannabinol. While THC is the psychoactive chemical that makes you high, CBD is medicinal and non-psychoactive. To appreciate the critical difference between the two, consider that marijuana contains 10-15 percent THC, while hemp is regulated and must contain only 0.3 percent or less THC. Consequently, it's impossible for your dog to get high or overdose with CBD because most CBD oil on the market for pets has zero THC.Various strains of cannabis plants produce THC, and others are specifically cultivated to be high-CBD/ low-THC. Still, others are industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa) and have zero THC content. The latter is generally used for CBD products for pets. Bottom line, CBD oil for dogs is extracted from hemp, not marijuana. Ongoing, in-depth research and studies have concluded that CBD oil is safe to administer to your dog.Inflammation has traditionally been a tricky nail to hammer for researchers when it comes to finding a therapeutic solution. The most promising area of study has involved the endocannabinoid system, namely CB1 and CB2 receptor activation which are G-protein-coupled receptor sites and the ligands that activate them.Cannabidiol has a distinct way of interacting with the endocannabinoid system that appears very promising for therapeutic applications with relation to inflammation.1 This book will serve as an easy-to-read synopsis of much of the research in this area regarding inflammation correlated with arthritis, Type 2 and diabetes, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, depression, and neuropathy.Buy this book Now!
