Stem Cell Implantation - Page 1

 I am considering on doing stem cell for my 7 year old GSD who has a significantly dysplastic right hip. Her left hip is OK.  She is a working dog and works in competiton ob, and agility.  She will probably not be able to do agility anymore, but would like to keep her working in some capacity as this is what she loves.  

She shows pain in the right hip upon examination from the DR and has come up lame in her right hind leg after the past to agility sessions(rested in between and not showing signs of lameness prior to training session, only after )

She is on gluco and Chondroitin as well as Traumeel and Zeel.  She also has EPI and pannus, so she definately is an autoimmune mess.  Not sure if that would hurt chances of stem cell being successful, Dr didn't seem to think so.

I was wondering if anyone has done this procedure on their dogs and if so what results have you seen.  I have heard that the results have been surprisingly good.

Any info would be appreciated

I have never had the need to do this poceedure, but I do know someone who has on their Lab and they said it was the best thing they ever tried. Their dog is now running and playing again.
I hope this helped
