A quick text message off to Dr. Jodie and she said it sounded like a panic attack. So seeing as we were choosing to handle sniper "unconventionally" which meant no pharmaceutical medications, she suggested trying CBD (Cannabidiol) which is part of the marijuana plant. It contains no TSH and would serve a medical purpose to help with his panic attacks. I was totally responsive to the idea and now I had to figure out where to get it in Canada.
My search lead me to an awesome company called Canna Companion (www.cannaforpets.com). With a veterinary prescription I could get product for Sniper and they could ship it to me. The would also copy any information required to Dr. Jodie for her files. Fantastic. The website was very informative and the veterinarian I spoke with answered all my questions and even gave me further information that she felt applied to my situation. Now I just had to wait for the product to arrive.
While we were competing in Calgary at Ultimate Air Dogs, Dr. Jodie sent me to meet Daphne of Daphne's Healing Hands (https://www.facebook.com/DHHCrystalCreations/?fref=ts). Dr. Jodie was working on Sniper doing some cranial sacral treatments and animal communication prior to June. In June, she had an accident which kept her from working, which also meant no treatments for Sniper. She did her best to help us navigate our learning curve but she knew Sniper needed some more energy work. Cue the meeting with Daphne at Spruce Meadows where Daphne had a booth. Oddly enough I met her in Calgary but we both lived in Edmonton. Yippee! We spoke throughout the weekend and Daphne did some work on Slice as Sniper was way too keyed up with the dock diving to be in for too much of anything. Slice loved her which was all the approval I needed.
Daphne and I came up with a plan for when we got back to Edmonton and set up an appointment. I was super excited to carry on with where we left off with Dr. Jodie.
