    Has anyone had experience using CBD MCT Oil for Alpacas?? I read that is definitely has been used for dogs, horses, and camelids. However, I cannot seem to find the dosing recommendations. I have a great video of a veterinarian talking about how to dose dogs, explaining that there are so many variables that weight should not be the definitive indicator for dosing. He recommends “Start Low and Go Slow.”

    The product that I make has a potency of 10mg of CBD per gram of oil. Since I make whole plant CBD oil, there are also all of the terpenes that exist in the plant. (Apparently terpenes should not be given to cats for some reason).

    I would like to know what a conservative “starting dose” would be for a typical alpaca. I have not weighed mine, but they are probably average, about 150lbs.

    I was thinking of using something like this at shearing and toenail time. It seems like the safety factor for this is much greater than typical sedatives.

    Thanks.
