The first veterinary hospital in Wyoming to perform in-house stem cell therapy helped a police dog suffering from a painful condition that affects up to 40 percent of the 164 million dogs and cats in the U.S. Sweetwater County Detective Dick Blust, Jr. says that the procedure took place yesterday at the Desert View Animal Hospital in Rock Springs on Blitz, a veteran 10 year old yellow lab who serves as a drug detection canine with the Sweetwater County Sheriff's office.
Blitz’s handler, Corporal Matt Bartolotta, says Blitz becomes stiff after a strenuous day.
Within two months of the procedure Blitz should be moving well, with little or no pain.
