Abstract Summary
A single injection of liposomal cannabidiol provided pain relief for up to 4 weeks in dogs with osteoarthritis. The liposomal formulation achieved sustained CBD blood levels and significantly improved pain, lameness, and behavior compared to placebo. Minor side effects included temporary fever and injection site swelling. This slow-release approach overcomes CBD’s poor oral bioavailability and shows promise as a long-acting treatment option.
