CBD and Rabbits, Houston

Research on possible benefits of CBD and Rabbits by OilWell CBD of Houston, TX

Full-spectrum CBD may benefit pets of many varieties, and rabbits are no different. At Oil Well’s Fine Cannabis Products, our business began when our founder discovered the benefits of full-spectrum CBD for his dog, Bentley, and wanting to make sure high-quality full-spectrum CBD was available and affordable for all pet owners, Oil Well was born. Pets are part of the family, and many people are turning to CBD for rabbits as well as the other four-legged members of their household.

How might CBD help my pet rabbit?

Rabbits, by nature, are animals of prey, and therefore very good at hiding their pain. Rabbit pet parents may not even recognize that their bunny is in pain until their pet is in visible distress. A rabbit in pain may exhibit the following symptoms:

  • High-pitched squealing
  • Sitting in a very hunched position for extended periods
  • Laying flat, pressing abdomen against the floor
  • Lack of appetite
  • Diarrhea
  • Biting or aggression

CBD for rabbits may help alleviate a number of symptoms, including:

Arthritis

Since rabbits hide their pain, you may not notice their arthritis until it has become advanced. Arthritis is caused by inflammation, which CBD has been reported to help alleviate. Larger rabbit breeds develop arthritis at younger ages than their smaller counterparts. You may notice an uneven gait and slow movements, in addition to the above symptoms of pain.

Skin Irritation

Rabbits are known to suffer from a variety of skin conditions, ranging from dandruff from dry skin to bacterial infections to parasites. It is important to take your rabbit to the veterinarian if you notice any kind of skin infection or irritation. Once the cause of the issue is found, some rabbit owners give their pets CBD in addition to medications and report that it helps alleviate symptoms such as swelling and inflammation, and overall pain and discomfort.

Pain due to Overgrown Teeth

Rabbit teeth grow extremely fast, and unlike human teeth, they continue to grow throughout their lifetime. They can become overgrown quite quickly, and can grow so long they become tusk-like or curved in appearance. If a rabbit doesn’t chew enough, or if their teeth meet incorrectly, their teeth become overgrown, causing difficulty and pain when eating. If left untreated, it can be life-threatening. Early signs include drooling and loss of appetite. If your rabbit has been treated at the vet for overgrown teeth, they may experience pain and loss of appetite after the dental procedure. CBD has been reported to help with inflammation, pain, and loss of appetite, so some rabbit owners choose to use it as a supplement after trimming or filing teeth.

Pain due to Injury

CBD has been shown to reduce pain and inflammation in most animals and humans. Some rabbit owners use CBD as a supplement for pain due to injury, and although there is little to no empirical data on CBD and rabbits, the anecdotal reports are positive.

How full-spectrum CBD for bunnies may help alleviate symptoms

Studies for CBD and rabbits are still being performed, therefore most instances of CBD for rabbits is anecdotal, as of the time of this writing.  Speak with your veterinarian before introducing supplemental CBD for rabbits. However, many rabbit owners report success when using CBD to treat their pets.
