CLARKSBURG, New Jersey, January 19, 2010 Coco, the two-year old Australian Shepherd had become increasingly hindered by the pain of arthritis in his hips, despite the best efforts of his owner, Deborah Holder.
Since, Coco was a very active pup, Holder enrolled him in obedience and agility training for fun. However, when Coco, began taking smaller leaps Holder became concerned. “After playing outside in the snow we noticed his limping was getting increasingly worse,” she said.
Concerned about her pets discomfort Holder took Coco, to Columbus Central Veterinary Hospital where Dr. Kelly Stephen diagnosed Coco with chronic hip dysplasia and concluded that he was most likely born with it. Just after Christmas, on Stephen’s recommendation Holder brought Coco to NorthStar VETS to find a solution. Upon arrival, she saw Dr. Laura Culbert, a board-certified surgeon who has also received advanced training utilizing adult stem cell therapy. “Dr. Culbert proposed many different options for Coco,” Holder said “However, we both agreed that Stem Cell Therapy would be the best choice.”
Coco’s appointment was booked promptly and he underwent a minor surgery to collect fat from his hips that would later become healing stem cells after being sent to a lab called Vet-Stem. 48 hours later Coco’s fat returned to the hospital as 37 million viable adult stem cells to be injected into Coco to repair and regenerate his damaged joints.
The stem cell therapy process is patented by Vet-Stem; a company located in California and is creating a buzz in the veterinary community. Before stem cell therapy you would take your pet to the veterinarian or go to the doctor and generally get prescribed medication to help them live with the chronic pain and inflammation. Today, more than 1,700 dogs and 3,600 horses in the United States have been treated for tendon, ligament, and joint problems over the last six years with their own stem cells! More than 70 percent of these pets have had significant improvement in their quality of life and can return to running, jumping, swimming, or whatever physical activity their lifestyle might demand.
Adult stem cell therapy can be used for the treatment of osteoarthritis, polyarthritis, tendonitis, fracture repair, etc. Since pets donate their own cells, therapy is extremely safe with less than 1% of patients having an adverse reaction. Your beloved pet can be treated with their own stem cells at NorthStar VETS.
