Stem cell therapy for dogs, too
Whatya do when your dog can’t walk up the stairs from hip dysplasia or arthritis? If your dog is part of your family as mine is to our family, you’d want the best for him. The Daily Gazette of Schenactady, NY does a nice piece on stem cell therapy for dogs. Here’s the way it works: Your vet extracts fat tissue from the dog and sends it to Vet-Stem, Inc. If all goes well, the stem cells are back to your vet just two days later and are injected back into the patient. So far in most cases, about 87% nationally, dogs became rejuvenated soon after receiving their injections. Now, if stem cell therapy can treat canine cancers, I’ll feel all fuzzy inside.
