Break through on stem cell surgery on dogs, now in the testing stage on
humans whereby stem cells are extracted from */your own body fat/* and
injected into the site where they are needed for healing. Be sure to
watch both videos for the amazing results on these dogs and the cost is
not too bad at all!

This is not really a breakthrough stem cells have been used for a while to treat horses with ligament / tendon problems so there is no reason this could not be used on dogs.  The bit about extracting from body fat seems a bit odd. Most adult stem cells are restricted to certain areas so for example if you extracted stem cells from body fat they would be great for creating more body fat but little else.

I'm no expert on this so I may of course be completely wrong

They did this on my little terrier when her ligament went in her back leg ( she is 14 ) fantastic she was up and about in no time,

Ditto Shadblots :)

Don't know if it's new or old in treatment for dogs.

Just thought others might have been interested.

I ws reading about this just yesterday. I find it very interesting. I find it even more interesting that it is already being done here. Is there a specialist practice that does it with dogs?
