Arthritic Bogey Resumes His Daily Walks
Bogey, a Labrador who is now ten years old, injured his cruciate ligaments in both knees when he was nine. On top of that, he also has advanced arthritis in his left hip. His mobility was so limited that he could barely walk and required assistance to do things like jump in the car and onto the couch.
According to Bogey’s mom, when he was first injured, they thought they might lose him. Fortunately, Bogey’s veterinarian, Dr. Ava DeCozio of VCA Apache Junction Animal Hospital, recommended treatment with VetStem Regenerative Cell Therapy.
Just three months after treatment, Bogey was back to his old self and was able to resume his daily walks to the park with mom. You can read the rest of Bogey’s story here.
We recently checked in on Bogey and his mom reported that he continues to do well and is still going on his daily walks. We’re so happy for Bogey and his family!
Though Bogey was facing multiple painful joints and limited mobility, stem cell therapy improved his quality of life. According to his owner he got his energy and personality back and was like his old self again.
