Stem cell therapy is an innovative medical procedure that can be used to treat a number of diseases in pets. Its most commonly used to treat arthritis and injuries to the ligaments, tendons, bones, joints, and spine.
Because stem cells are essentially blank slates that can be used to form any type of cell, they can regenerate damaged tissue in various parts of the body. At Animal Hospital of Rye, we use stem cells from your pets bone marrow for their treatment.
Once the stem cells are collected, theyre injected directly into the injured area. From there, theyll gravitate to the damaged tissue, reduce pain and inflammation, and spur new tissue growth. Not all pets will benefit from stem cell therapy, but its generally safe and the risk of rejection is significantly reduced when the stem cells used come from that pet.
We work with Vet-Stemto provide stem cell therapy to our patients. You can check out their website or give us a call at (717) 957-3991 to learn more about stem cell therapy and whether it could be a good treatment option for your pets condition.
