   Way to go Ruggles! I love reading such happy stem cell stories!

2. Andrew at arthritis in dogs Said,

   This report is very interesting. Do you have any more details? I’d like to know how many dogs the procedure has been carried out in, and what results have been achieved over the short, medium and long term. Do you have any registered practitioners for this procedure in the UK? I am a UK veterinary orthopaedic specialist. My clients are interested in relatively non-invasive procedures with a good chance of medium to long term clinical improvement for their dogs with arthritis.

3. Bob Said,

   Hi Dr. Andrew. Great to hear from a colleague across the water. My the internet makes the world small. We do not currently offer service in the UK, but that may change soon. Over 70% of dogs treated with significant arthritis will improve clinically. If you check out the blog on December 24, 2009, it has some great data about re-treatment rates. Also, for old dogs, a July 8, 2010 post describes re-treatment rates. We have some dogs now out over 4 years from treatment, with no new treatments needed, but about 1/3 of dogs will need a touch-up or re-treatment around 12-18 months. The good news is, the second treatments come from stored frozen doses and no fat collection is needed….just thaw and ship. Considerably cheaper as well. Hope that helps! Dr. Bob
