Represents significant difference (p < 0.05) from baseline week 0 of CBD treatment.
Represents significant differences (p < 0.05) from week 2 of CBD oil treatment. §Lameness was scored as follows: 1 = no lameness observed/walks normally, 2 = slightly lame when walking, 3 = moderately lame when walking, 4 = severely lame when walking, 5 = reluctant to rise and will not walk more than 5 paces. ∫Pain on palpation was scored as follows: 1 = none, 2 = mild signs, dog turns head in recognition, 3 = moderate signs, dog pulls limb away, 4 = severe signs, dog vocalizes or becomes aggressive, 5 = dog will not allow palpation. = Weight-bearing was scored as follows: 1 = equal on all limbs standing and walking, 2 = normal standing, favors affected limb when walking, 3 = partial weight-bearing standing and walking, 4 = partial weight-bearing standing, non-weight-bearing walking, 5 = non-weight-bearing standing and walking.
