<DIV>I just saw an amazing news story that sounds like a wonderful idea for
treating arthritis in dogs -- the first I've ever heard anything about
this.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Vets are now using dogs' own stem cells on dogs who have osteoarthritis in
hips and elbows, with an amazing (85%) success rate. And they're working
on using this technology for other illnesses and problems down the road.
But for now, this is the only application.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It just sounds almost miraculous. Here's the news story link (if it
doesn't work right, go to wbztv.com and search "dog stem cell"):</DIV>
