Surf Paws Animal Hospital

A 13-year-old dog who was barely able to walk is back on his paws thanks to stem cell therapy. Before the treatment Kumba suffered from arthritis so bad he could barely get off the floor.

Two months later his owners say Kumba is like a new dog. "Now he's up every day, if we get up and he's excited he'll romp around in the backyard like a horse galloping again and it's so nice to see, it's so nice," said Rumi Hospodar, Kumba's owner.

Kumba is a 13 year old Rottweiler-Labrador mix who suffered from severe osteoarthritis.

The after footage (starts at 1:50) are 7 weeks post therapy and the latest was taken on 8.11.2012.

After one Sunday afternoon, she came back limping on her left hind leg.  My stomach sank a little as I palpated her joints and put her through range of motion exercises.  IPO was diagnosed with a partial tear of her cranial cruciate ligament through x-rays. I decided to try and treat her conservatively but ultimately decided to perform stem cell therapy on her since the procedure yields many positive results.

... Stay tuned in 3-4 weeks for updates on her results.
