Koda, a Labrador, Receives Relief From Stem Cell Therapy
Koda was about 9 years old when his owners noticed he was limping and his left elbow was swollen. X-rays revealed that Koda had arthritis as a result of elbow dysplasia. Dr. Douglas Stramel at Advanced Care Veterinary Services recommended VetStem Cell Therapy and Koda received an injection of his own stem cells into his problematic elbow as well as intravenously.
In addition to stem cell therapy, Koda also received physical therapy, acupuncture, and chiropractic care and the combination of therapies led to an improved quality of life. According to his owner, Koda became happier and more playful. She noted, “Koda can now go up and down the stairs when he wants to and not struggle. He had been hesitant to go on walks for a period of time prior to the stem cell therapy but now there is no hesitation.”

If your dog has been diagnosed with arthritis, stem cell therapy may provide some relief. Consult with your veterinarian or to find a veterinary stem cell provider in your area.
