PANAMA CITY BEACH — Hummer is a 6-year-old softball-chasing, tail-wagging, walk-taking bundle of fur.
He also struggles to get off the floor, tires easily and takes steroids to make it through the day.
His owners, Dustin and
Barbara Stokesbary, hope a new stem cell procedure performed Friday
for the first time in Florida will have the yellow lab feeling like
his old self by the time he celebrates his seventh birthday on
Thanksgiving Day.
The procedure, modeled
after technology already in use on humans, uses stem cells harvested
from fat to treat osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia, ligament and
cartilage injuries, and other degenerative diseases.
A Group of Bay County veterinarians are proving that old dogs can feel like pups again.

SCOTTSDALE -
You've probably heard of stem cell technology being used to help cure
diseases in humans, but now, it's being used to ease pain in our
pets.
Stem cell
technology helps aging pets ease their pain. Staff at Adobe Animal
Hospital in Scottsdale performed the first procedure Thursday on Lilly, a
14-year-old American Eskimo suffering from severe arthritis.
Vets took some fat out of her and harvested her adult stem cells. Then, they injected the new cells into her aching joints.
Vets say this is a great alternative to surgeries and drugs.
"Dogs that couldn't
go up the stairs, cats that couldn't get into the litter pan can now
go up the stairs and get in the litter pan -- that is very important
for quality of life. We're not trying to make them just be older we're
trying to make them more comfortable so they can enjoy their senior
years and that's what it's all about," says Dr. Mike Hutchinson.
The procedure takes about 3 hours. The cost is about $1,800.

– Do you have a dog or cat that has trouble walking? Some
veterinarians believe they’ve found a cure that doesn’t involve a
bunch of painkillers.
Luger is a
four-year-old Rottweiler who cries in pain every time he gets up. He’s
been on anti-inflammatory drugs for the past three years.
“He has no neck
to his femur, he has all extra bone formation, and his socket is very
flat,” Dr. Ellen Leonhardt said. “He has extremely severe hip
dysplasia – that’s about as bad as it gets.”

Utah's first stem cell procedure on pets goes swimmingly
by Lynn Arave - Deseret News (Salt Lake City),
Sep 18, 2010
HOLLADAY -- A major milestone in Utah
veterinary history was marked Friday morning, when the state's
first-ever stem cell procedure on pets was performed on two dogs at
Cottonwood Animal Hospital.
Both canines, who were previously in
pain and suffered limited motion, are expected to feel better and
regain much of their agility in coming weeks.
Unlike the controversial human stem cell research, this animal procedure does not involve young embryos.
"What we're using are adult stem cell
regenerative therapy for pets," said Jeremy Delk, chief executive
officer of MediVet-America, based in Nicholasville, KY., whose company
helped pioneer this major scientific advancement in animal stem cell
regenerative therapy for pets.
Animals suffering from osteoarthritis,
hip dysplasia, ligament and cartilage injuries and many forms of
other degenerative diseases are those who will benefit from the
breakthrough procedure.
In fact, this procedure could be the
biggest boon in veterinary science in the past several decades, with
up to 65 percent of animals believed to be able to benefit from this
new advancement, Delk said.

Holladay • Honey, a 9-year-old
Labrador retriever, underwent a first-ever procedure for Utah that is
expected to heal the dog’s hip dysplasia.
The stem-cell procedure, performed
Friday at Cottonwood Animal Hospital, involved removing fatty tissue
from Honey’s shoulder and separating out the stem cells in a process
that includes light-emiting diodes. Veterinarian Rob Bagley then
injected the activated cells back into the animal’s diseased joints.
“I’m excited about the potential this
procedure will have for pet owners,” said Bagley. “The technology is
relatively simple, and looks like it can offer some great results.”
Stem Cell Treatments in Dogs
By Dr Adam Gordon - Maroubra Veterinary Hospital -
Urban Animal Magazine
Australia - Published Sep 1, 2010
Stem cell treatments represent a
revolutionary and exciting new approach to managing many diseases and
conditions in humans and animals. They have the potential to radically
change the way we view medical conditions once considered untreatable
or difficult to treat.
Potential uses are wide and varied, and
include treatment of head and spinal cord injuries, diabetes, cancer,
heart damage, arthritis, missing teeth, blindness, deafness,
Parkinson’s disease, infertility, non healing bone fractures and
baldness (yay!).
So what are stem cells? Stem cells are a
primitive type of cell that have the ability to transform into
specialised cells that are found in tissues such as nervous tissue,
bone, cartilage and ligament. In fact, they have the potential to
transform into any tissue found in the body. The significance of this
is that specific cells can be produced to repair damaged or diseased
tissue, such as spinal cord, heart, bone and cartilage.
NEW YORK--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--“A
frivolous but unsettling civil lawsuit was filed last month in U.S.
District Court, Southern District of California, which could have a
tremendous impact on veterinarians’ access to cutting-edge stem-cell
treatment for their patients,” says Jeremy Delk, C.E.O. of
MediVet-America.
“That’s what it’s all about- helping
animals! I enjoy coming to work every day because I’m able to hear
countless stories just like this! It’s hard to sleep”
