[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 1899480, member: 31715"] It's such a coincidence as I was just on pubmd early this morning doing research into any clinical trials of CBD with reptiles. There are quite a bit of studies on dogs and cats, and of course a ton on humans, but reptiles are a harder study to find. I did find this article [url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5792153/]Cannabinoids and the kidney: effects in health and disease.[/url] It's not reptile specific, but the basis of the study is in regards to cannabis receptors: And if you do some research, you find it noted that reptiles do have these receptors in their kidneys, and likely other tissues too. I was originally looking into this as it seemed an interesting topic for discussion in regards to helping treat kidney issues we see in dragons. However the conclusion they come to is while it may help kidney function, it may also damage them. That being said, about every drug known to man has a side effect. Stress on the kidneys is a pretty mild one IMO if it seems to help with the tremors. CBD has been studied and tested to help with that in many cases (just not any in reptiles that I can find, but biological functions and pathways should be similar, as is eluded to in many reptile based studies you can find.) Since you really are delving into unknown territory, and it seems you have a decent vet, it would be wise to get blood work done after a bit to check kidney function. The goal would be just as much of a dose as needed to keep symptoms at bay, while also keeping the kidneys in a healthy functioning state. If the dose you are using is working, I wouldn't consider bumping it up again until you get kidney function results. The best part of this, is you have a baseline of what the blood tests showed before you started with the CBD. So win win there. It will be interesting to see and follow along with your results nevertheless. -Brandon [/QUOTE]
