At our veterinary hospital in Ardmore, we commonly see pet owners from Ardmore as well as the surrounding areas of Bryn Mawr, Haverford, Radnor, Gladwyne, Wynnewood and Narbeth. For those pet owners who are contemplating surgery or some other medical procedure for their pet, we have many options including general anesthesia or local anesthesia for your pets. Depending on the surgical procedure being performed and the temperament of the pet, sedation is not always necessary nor the most comfortable following surgery. In many cases, the veterinarians may also use non-anesthetic procedures during surgery by utilizing local anesthetic techniques to include nerve blocks and regional anesthetic methods.

Stem Cell Implantation

Ardmore Animal Hospital is experienced in stem cell implantation which helps to repair damaged tissues in pets who are suffering from degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis or myelopathy, which are progressive and painful pet diseases. The veterinarians are all VetStem certified. Their expertise and knowledge can answer any questions that may arise throughout the process. They will walk you through a discussion of the benefits of stem cell implantation for your pet’s long-term wellness and can field any concerns you may have in regards to the procedure.

Stem cell implantation surgery is used to treat traumatic and degenerative diseases, including osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal injuries. By using stem cells derived from a pet's own adipose (fat) tissue, damaged tissue can be repaired. Because stem cells can turn into many cell types as they develop—bone, cartilage, muscle, etc.—they are capable of regenerating numerous types of tissues. This therapy has so far proved very successful for both horses and companion pets. The veterinarians of Ardmore Animal Hospital are VetStem-certified to perform stem cell implantation procedures.
