Updated: Wednesday, April 16 2014, 06:10 PM CDT It's like a new lease on life for some pets in Lebanon County, after they got an improved type of stem cell therapy.

Gunney is an 8-year-old German Shepherd, suffering with severe hip pain. Doctor Calvin Clements is treating the dog with a new type of stem cell therapy, where cells are collected, harvested, and injected. This is all done in the Palmyra Office and all done on the same day.

This takes out the practice of shipping out the tissues and waiting days to get the cells back. In the end, it allows the animals to feel better, faster.

It will take Gunney just a few days to start feeling better, but a full month before the cells fully take. According to Doctor Calvin Clements, this therapy improves the animal's health by 85%.Palmyra vet treats dogs with stem cell therapy
