The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently warned consumers about an increased rate of pet illnesses associated with chicken jerky treats imported from China. Scientists are still working to uncover the cause, but dogs have exhibited symptoms of decreased activity, decreased appetite, vomiting and diarrhea. Some dogs have shown kidney damage and exhibit increased water consumption and increased urination. Although most recover, a few dogs have died. The doctors and staff at Acequia Animal Hospital recommend that you DO NOT feed chicken jerky products to your dogs or cats until this problem is solved. If you notice any of the above symptoms, please give us a call and let us evaluate your furry family members.

Regenerative Stem Cell Therapy Regenerative stem cell therapy uses cells in a dog’s own fat tissue to help regenerate cartilage and other tissues in addition to providing tremendous pain relief, essentially helping the body help itself. This process requires a short general anesthesia to extract a small amount of fat from the body wall. The fat is then processed by a cell therapy laboratory. Two to three days after the surgery, pets are sedated for injection of the regenerative cells directly into the joints. Recent data indicates tremendous improvement in pain and function in dogs whose elbows, knees or hips have been injected.
