I tried CBD oil for my Maltese Poodle cross as he was having the same symptoms as your lab. I didn't really notice any improvement. I am now using Deramaxx, vet prescribed, and we are two weeks in on Cartrophen injections. Deramaxx is fairly pricy, $64 per month, half pill AM and PM, I know someone with a lab who is using one pill a day and having great success. Cartropen for my 20lb dog is $7 per injection. The procedure is one injection per week for four weeks, then monthly or even longer between shots depending on how he reacts. During this first month I can lower the Deramaxx as he improves and add back later with the Cartrophen as needed. We have done two injections and he went from whining and licking a lot, (some evenings he was just unable to calm down he was in so much pain) to being a happy calm dog again. Best West carries pet CBD if you really want to try it. Any of the Cannabis shops carry people grade-do not use it on your dog.
