Question by gms1616: Wht is the BEST Rx treatment for arthritis for dogs? Pls no natural, herbal or Glucosamine suggestions.?
I have a 10 yo Chocolate Lab and has experienced serious arthritis for half her life and continues to worsen. Of course I already give her a glucosamine supplement, etc. I’ve tried Rimadyl, and even Mobic, but nothing seems to work long term or consistently. Aren’t there new injection medications out now? Thanks so much.

Veteran’s Day Honor: Search & Rescue Dogs of 9-11 Receive Breakthrough Stem Cell Regenerative Therapy from MediVet-America
Nashville, TN (PRWEB) November 10, 2011
One of the last surviving search & rescue dogs deployed in the 9/11 attacks, now 15 years old, will receive a breakthrough stem cell regenerative treatment from MediVet-America to help ease crippling arthritis and live out her days in greater comfort. At least two other 9/11 dogs also will receive the same stem cell therapy.
Only about a dozen of the nearly 100 search & rescue dogs that were sent to the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, PA, are still alive today.
Bailey, a black Labrador retriever who is retired from service, will undergo the drug-free procedure on Veterans Day, Friday, Nov. 11, 2011, 10 a.m., at Companion Animal Hospital, in Goodlettsville, TN, near Nashville. It will be performed by Dr. Mary Ergen, D.V.M., and Katherine Wilkie, director of lab services for MediVet-America, which is donating the procedure.
Along with her handler, Keith Lindley of Thompson Station, TN, Bailey was mobilized by FEMA to the Pentagon on September 12, 2001. For 11 days she searched the disaster site and acted as a therapy dog for the first responders and military personnel who were devastated by the experience and missing their own families and pets. Later, Bailey went to Salt Lake City, UT, for the 2002 Winter Olympics and did wilderness searches back home. Today, she is stiff-legged from severe arthritis.
It seems fitting that on Veterans Day, when we honor all who have served our country, we are helping one of the unsung heroes of 9-11, said Lindley. I saw firsthand how Bailey and the other search & rescue dogs made a big difference in a terrible tragedy. And she may have many good years ahead. Her mother is now 18 years old.
Also to receive stem cell treatment in the coming weeks is Red, a 12 year old black Lab who was sent to the Pentagon on September 16 with her handler, Heather Roche of Annapolis, MD. Red also worked for 11 days, finding the remains of victims in the north parking-lot area. She later responded to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. No longer able to handle tasks like climbing a two-story ladder, Red retired in July. Ms. Roche said, Red wants to work, but her body just cant do it anymore.
A third 9/11 search & rescue dog that searched the ruins at Ground Zero, Hoke, owned by Julie Noyes of Indiana, also will be treated.
Veterinarians and researchers describe stem cell regenerative therapy as a major scientific development in the treatment of arthritis, hip dysplasia, ligament and cartilage injuries and other degenerative joint diseases in dogs, cats, horses and other animals. The technology uses an adult animals own stem cells to heal itself.
MediVet-Americas treatment involves removing fat tissue from the animal, separating the stem cells from the fat, activating and then injecting the cells into the affected areas. Within four to six weeks, animals that had been in severe pain with a restricted range of motion are able to walk, run and even jump again.
The key to the procedure is an advanced, patented L.E.D. technology that activates millions of dormant stem cells present in fat tissue.
We are proud to help the unsung canine heroes of 9-11 on this first Veterans Day following the 10th anniversary of the attacks, said MediVet-America managing director Jeremy Delk. They deserve the very best stem cell therapeutic care that is now being received by animals across the nation.

How risky a treatment is this for dog’s arthritis?
Question by L33754U(3: How risky a treatment is this for dog’s arthritis?
Our vet recently had us try our 65lb black lab on 5mg Prednisolone once per day w/ 25mg of Tramadol twice per day. He had previously been on Deramaxx. So far, he seems to be doing better than before, but the potential side effects are really keeping me up at night. Given that the dose is relatively low, do I have cause for concern or are the odds of these frightening side effects (muscle weakness, Cushing’s disease, etc.) legitimate? I’d rather he walk a little slower than develop some horrible condition!
