Air Charlie - Stem Cell Therapy
I'm writing to tell you about the progress of our wonderful 14 year old Australian Shepherd, Air Charlie pictured above from a photo we took this morning. Charlie successfully beat cancer this year following removal of a stage 1 sarcoma and subsequent radiation treatments but still suffered from arthritis in his hips. This latter condition was starting to interfere with his ability to engage in daily activities. His liver functions were also increasing likely due to the chronic use of a Coxib inhibitor. |

Stem cells therapy has Lexi wagging again
Toronto Star December 28, 2010
Valerie Hauch - Staff Reporter
As 2010 draws to a close, everyone thinks back to the faces in the news — who's in, who's up, who's down. In this six-part series, Star reporters revisit some of the faces from our pages over the past year. Today, Valerie Hauch checks on the progress of the first dog to have stem cell treatment totally in Canada.
Lexi’s feeling sexy again.
That’s not to say that the middle-aged Newfoundland dog, who had an injection of stem cells in October, has any sort of amorous intentions.
Lexi is spayed, after all. And stem cells, while sometimes found to have mysterious, unplanned benefits, do not restore procreative proclivities.
Rather, it’s obvious that the 7-year-old dog with the glossy ebony fur is feeling good as her big, black nose snuffles energetically in bushes and she gambols on the green in a park near the Mississauga veterinary clinic where her owner works.
In October, Lexi became the first dog to undergo a stem-cell injection done totally in Canada. Fat cells were removed from Lexi’s shoulder under general anesthesia, and the stem cells isolated and activated in an on-site MediVet lab that uses patented technology. The stem cells were then injected into Lexi’s back right leg, where pain from bilateral hip dysplasia and degenerative joint disease had taken a toll.

Valerie Hauch - Staff Reporter
TIt will be 20 to 30 days before a Newfoundland dog named Lexi shows the real results of an operation she underwent Friday at a Mississauga veterinarian’s office — the first in-clinic animal stem cell procedure done in Canada.

Without the pain, Lexi’s mobility will improve and she’ll be able to take “the long walks’’ she loves, says Pike.

Stem-cell therapy for pets now offered in Canada
October 15, 2010
Global and Mail
The lengths animal lovers can go to for their beloved pets just became even more extreme.
A company says it has developed a new stem-cell therapy for animals, promising to help ease the pain and improve the health
of pets with problems such as hip dysplasia, osteoarthritis or ligament injuries.
Although another company, Vet-Stem Inc., has provided what it
calls animal stem-cell therapy since 2002, it requires veterinarians to ship tissue samples to California. The treatment developed by Australian-based MediVet Pty. Ltd. allows veterinarians to perform the entire procedure in their clinics in a few hours.

Stem Cell Procedure Performed in Arizona
Updated: Thursday, 07 Oct 2010,

Published : Thursday, 07 Oct
2010, 11:04 PM MDT
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.

CBS 's Magee Hickey Reports
EAST NORWICH, N.Y. (CBS 2) – 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 Cells," said Jeremy Delk, chief executive officer of MediVet-America, 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
Austalia -
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.
