Did you know dogs can now have Stem Cell Therapy? The vet uses the dogs own fat cells to make the stem cells and injects them into the area that is damaged like joints, ligaments and cartilage. Almost all dogs see some improvement over the span of 4-6 months.
It is used mostly for older dogs (instead of hip replacement surgery) and costs much less at around $1800 per procedure. It is also less traumatic for the dog patient.
So if you have a pet with arthritis, or joint issues, that is in pain...AND they have a lot of good life otherwise left in them....check into a vet that offers this new technology.
Happy Running to all.
