Dr. Martinez and Dr. Calvo Blanco made an appearance on 9 News to explain the recent TGA decision. We are so grateful for the exposure this issue is getting!

22/03/2022

The TGA has announced an interim decision that they will not amend the Poison Standard Regulations, denying animals access to medicinal cannabis.

21/03/2022

We at eCS Vet are so grateful for the attention the media has brought to our cause. We feel the amendment to Schedule 8 to include animals is an important and necessary change to veterinary medicine.

Dr Calvo would like to have an online event in the next few weeks clarifying the details of the TGA's initial decision.

Stay tuned to our socials for dates to this event! For immediate contact you can reach our clinic at:

The TGA has announced in an interim decision they will not amend the existing Poison Standard regulations due to perceived risks and toxicity of cannabinoid substances for animals.

Dr Marta Calvo Blanco DVM, Head of Veterinary Operations at eCS Vet, which works to improve animal welfare by providing education and support for veterinarians on medicinal cannabis, said eCS Vet is determined to clarify and substantiate their application to the TGA by the April 11 deadline.

We are excited to announce that CANNect Veterinary will now operate under the new name and brand eCS Vet. We are taking this step to show the connection to eCS health and eCS Clinic and to bundle our resources and expertise to provide better service to our clients.

eCS Vet will continue to support veterinarians to improve their patient’s life by prescribing cannabis-based medicines and will keep advocating for better access to cannabinoid medications Australia-wide.

If you are a pet owner and want to find out more regarding our treatment options or are simply interested in learning if cannabinoids could improve your animal’s health condition, please contact Dr. Calvo and the team any time.

Welcome to eCS Vet!

Inflammaging!! I love this term!

When we think about our furry oldies it is so easy to see and understand that inflammation and aging are intrinsically related to each other. Cannabinoids and specifically CBD appear as potential potent compounds to be used as antiaging therapeutic agents.

Talk to your vet! Ask how phytocannabinoids can help your furry friends. And of course, feel free to contact us any time!

Many of you might use essential oils as diffusers at home, as supplements in your food, or for cosmetic purpose, but you might not be aware that essential oils are made of terpenes.

Terpenes are the compounds responsible for the way most plants smell and taste. They are abundant in cannabis and many other plants, fruits, and herbs.

This is your last chance to submit your position on the Amendment of Schedule 8 of Medicinal Cannabis and Tetrahydrocannabinols to include therapeutic use on animals.

Add your opinion using this link to access the TGA page:
https://consultations.health.gov.au/tga/november_2021_acms_accs_joint/consultation/subpage.2020-08-24.4118714205/

Please, share this info as much as possible. Every single comment counts!!!

In your submission you may want to mention some or all of the following:

- The need of new available treatments for animals in Australia.

- The need of expanding the knowledge about these medications among the veterinary Community.

- The high success achieved by animals having access to these therapies overseas.

- The need of controlled, high quality medicinal cannabis products for the animal’s safety.

- The need of Veterinarians accessing and controlling these products for a better support of their patients.

- The fact that these medicines have been shown to be safe and beneficial for animals when used and controlled by veterinarians.

- The fact that these medicines, when used properly, have minimal adverse side effects (in contrast to many AINE’s particularly in old animals).

- The fact that these medicines are already being used by medical practitioners in humans as part of expanded Access Schemes.

Your personal experience (if this is the case) of the benefits of these substances (if you have had direct experience of treatments with these therapies). Note that having these treatments in Australia at the present time is illegal without a veterinary prescription and you should be careful about any content that you use.

This would be a huge win for veterinary medicine and all animals in Australia. "The application closes on October 7 with CANNect Group focusing on pet owners and vets in a bid to change the language from “human therapeutic use” to “human or animal therapeutic use” and allow for safe access to cannabis products for veterinary patients."

Please follow the consultation link and submit your opinion. It takes very little time to complete and would mean so much to have your support!
