I wanted to post this in a different thread but was thinking of it in RE to Moose, and to Zuzu and a few other of our challenging NN Orthopedic cases.
When we first moved to CT I looked into stem cell therapy and found someone doing a procedure that is experimental, and therefore not covered by insurance. It was also recommended more for older dogs (the vet had had excellent results in older horses and older labs) than for young 'uns.
Now, I've just found out that the acupuncture/chiro vet that we see has become certified in a different kind of stem cell treatment, one that she says is *not* experimental for orthopedic issues and arthritis, and is seeing success on younger animals as well. She says she'll give me paperwork for Zuzu's insurance if they want it.
Here is the link to her page. Thought it might be worth investigating if anyone in your area is pursuing the same therapy.
