Yesterday, we took our new cats to the Vet in Rutland Vermont. Isn’t he pretty? One of the Vets there, Dr. Crossman, is interested in stem cells for regenerative medicine. He told us about a cat he treated for a congenital heart problem. He took stem cells from the teeth of another cat and injected the cells into the blood of the other sick cat. The cat with heart problems had been expected to live only a short time. But after the stem cell injection he is doing fine 2 years later! What news!
The Vet has not documented the treatment because he is not a research doc. per se. But come on, guys: document your work in stem cells! He and other Vets are also injecting stem cells from the same animal into hip joints for arthritis… Also see the article I reported about Joint Replacement with stem cells.
This article on stem cell therapy for pets has a locator to find a vet in your area who provides the procedure.

Thanks, jean.
Great.
What an absolutely BEAUTIFUL kitty! Name?
YOur new kitty is gorgeous. What a sweet face. Name? Are you going to get him a companion?
Hi Sharon
We have been calling him Mr. Fluff — suits his affectionate personality. Sometimes its Puff, other times Fluff. It think Fluff will stick.
Hi Roxanne
The white kitty resembles our Fluff. His companion is Tiger. They fit their names very well.
Thanks, L.
