I recently contacted the people who make Ellevance, who also make Ellevet which I think is licensed in other countries. They sent info about various things but there was a paper about epilepsy. And it can be ordered via Merlin and dispensed by you. I'll see if I still have email tomorrow!

I cannot see any problem with 'prescribing' a human product, licenced or not because it is a clinical judgement I am happy to make. I would need to be happy that the product was what it said it was and nothing more!

CBD oil in animals is classed as a medicine. You therefore have to prescribe on cascade. There is one human licensed CBD product but it is super expensive (I think £800?).

If you prescribe anything else then you are breaking the law. It is mad, but that is what it is. https://vmd.blog.gov.uk/2022/06/28/can-i-buy-cbd-oil-cannabidiol-for-my-pet/ There will also be an update on Veterinary Prescriber shortly (https://www.veterinaryprescriber.org/).
