Meet Maya and follow her stem cell journey! Maya is a 4 year old German Shepherd. She was adopted as an older puppy. Unfortunately Maya has painful joints. Given her young age and discomfort, Maya is going to be treated with stem cells. Follow her journey over the next 4 months. Look for an update next week after her stem cell harvest.

Maya had her stem cells harvested today. In dogs stem cells are recovered from fat. During surgery extra care was taken to position Maya.Even under anesthesia she was uncomfortable having her hips stretched so an alternative position was used. Approximately 2 tablespoons of fat was collected from her groin. The fat was then washed in sterile saline and moved to a transport vial. The sample was then packed and shipped to the lab. Cell growth typically takes 3-4 weeks before it is ready to be shipped back for Maya’s injections.
