I recently took my 6 year old Bernese in for two blown acl’s the ortho said stem cells. He said this was his recomendation over surgery? I am really worried that stem cells alone wont work I have talked with him about surgery and he insist on stem cell only……..any help on this? I had to go back two days after and plead with them to at least wrap her legs for support and give her some pain meds.. I feel like my hands are tied and I am getting the run around…I paid 1,500 for this and I am really worried about her future….What now and can this work?

thank you for this- its exactly what my 5 year old pointer mix is going through right now and i’m trying to debate between TTA and TPLO for the one right (100% blown) knee – with a second bad knee approaching — and hips that are deteriorating! Yikes what one week can do! your info and story has helped me think through it all more and i’m appreciative!

I’m a small animal vet in KS (Olathe Animal Hospital) and just wanted to say thank you for sharing Jasmine’s story! I’m so glad she’s doing great, and you have no regrets! I performed stem cell therapy on my own dog (http://olatheanimalhospital.com/1462/monty/ ) and was extremely pleased with the results. We’ve gone on to treat 4 more patients, and we’ve had mixed results. Frank the pug is by far our biggest success (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3mLPJEnOAE )–he’s like a new dog!! One patient developed a spinal tumor (unrelated) 2 months after treatment and had to be put to sleep. One of them was too recent to have any results yet (just treated last week–and it does take at least 30 days to see results!). However, the patient I wanted to mention had a torn ACL, and the point I wanted to make for any readers who might be asking, “Can I do stem cell therapy for my dog’s ACL injury without doing surgery on the knee?” is that surgery IS the best option for the knee! I tried treating my patient with stem cells only and no surgery, and she ended up needing a TPLO anyway. It’s best to do surgery along with stem cell therapy. Great article!
