G'day maties,
A few weeks ago our dad B ordered this very cool cook book for dogs called Anne's Dog Bites. We haven't tried any of the recipes yet but we're gonna!!! The author Anne Johnson had dedicated this book to her two much loved dogs, Sunny a three year old Lakeland Terrier and Skipton and Airedale who died in January 2002. He was the inspiration for many of the recipes in this book. We're really looking forward to trying some of these recipes. All the recipes are named after dogs who helped with the taste testing hehe....very cool!! Look at this picture of Sunny.....how sweet!!!! This is the back cover of the book.
Last night while we were watching A Current Affair they showed one very interesting story about arthritis in dogs.
An Australian vet is working on stem cell therapy which involves harvesting fat cells using lipo suction. From this they grow stem cells which are then injected back into the joint of the dog. The results have been virtually instant. First of all the dog must have a CT scan to see if it is suitable for this treatment. Human trials will begin in a couple of months. This is great news for dogs suffering arthritis. We couldn't believe how successful this treatment is. They showed a few examples on telly. The dogs looked great.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.
