It's still considered an illegal drug _ which has limited the research.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"I think a lot of people are either up against legal issues at their institution or nervous,\" says Stephanie McGrath, the lead researcher of the study looking at CBD for treating epilepsy and arthritis in dogs.\u003cbr/\u003e              About four dozen dogs like Buster are participating in the pilot study, that's funded by pet medication maker Applied Basic Science Corp.  While dog owners report miraculous results, the study is monitoring the impact of taking CBT compared to half the dogs who are being given a placebo. \u003cbr/\u003e              \"There is a placebo effect and that same placebo effect is actually present in dogs as well. The dogs obviously don't know that but the owners. So when we ask owners, we have what we call a caregiver placebo effect,\" says researcher Felix Duerr.\u003cbr/\u003e              Researchers check the dogs' brains for deformities, to ensure there are none that could be an underlying cause of any seizures. At the same time the owners keep a log of the seizures their pets have. \u003cbr/\u003e              To check for arthritis, researchers measure how much weight is placed on each paw when walking across a specially developed tread tracking pad. \u003cbr/\u003e              \"When they put less pressure on the paw then that means that they're more painful,\" Duerr says.\u003cbr/\u003e              Results of the study are expected next year. \u003cbr/\u003e              \"The overall goal, the really long, long term goal would be to translate it to human medicine,\" explains McGrath. \u003cbr/\u003e              Veterinarian assistant Luke Beyler is not part of the study, but he gives his 14-year-old dog CBD oil to treat arthritis and anxiety. \u003cbr/\u003e              \"For the last year he hasn't wanted to jump in my car, but then after just a couple days he's already jumping in my car again, which is to me a big thing,\"  says Beyler of Robby.\u003cbr/\u003e            \u003cbr/\u003e\u003cbr/\u003e              Fort Collins, Colorado - 8 November 2017 \u003cbr/\u003e              1.
