Dogged by pain -- stem cell therapy for dogs

Visit: http://tinyurl.com/yfya65z for more pet stories -- A new technique for fighting the crippling effects of severe hip dysplasia is catching the attention of many large breed dog owners. Anne Marie Ogle of Napanoch, the owner of Dasha, a 9 year-old German Shepherd, hopes stem cell therapy will improve her pet's quality of life. Two vets from Rondout Valley Veterinary Associates in Kerhonkson studied up on the process offered by a California-based company called Vet-Stem.

This is great news, now if our governments would only smarten up and approve this adult stem cell therapy for humans, my poor ostheo-arthritic knee would feel a lot better.

Thanks for posting this video, and I hope Dasha is still doing good.

how much would this cost?

@MySecretPearl -- Aw, I'm so very sorry. It's sad to have to live this after all the great success you had with the stem cell treatment.

@ntheoret Oh my gosh exactly! I wouldn't be up every night at 3:25 with

my arm! We could all walk upright in the morning!

Wouldn't hurt either if backyard breeders just left this and many other breeds alone.

This is something, and how inspiring.

I had the pleasure of meeting Anne Marie a few days ago

and hearing about this amazing story.

Wow.

Medivet also does stem cell treatment on dogs, cats and horses, and it's unbelievably successful. Stem cells are taken from adipose tissue, activated and injected into the joint. It's over ina day and results are seen within a month A perfectly natural solution!
