I found this discussion going on a swedish mess.bord ( that is related to dogs of all breeds) and since I found it interesting I'm crossposting with the permission of the post starter.
The question asked is; Can busted cruziate ligaments be heeled by taking 1ml blood/1kg dog, from the dogs neck and then inject it into the back leg, combinated with excersise heel a busted ligament?
This is what a breeder IN South Africa claims (I do not know who he is or what breed he breeds)
QUOTE //"Ask an older trusted and not too modernized vet that you know about the procedure of drawing blood from the jugular, 1ml/kg of dog about, and injecting it behind the kneecap into the joint forcing pressure into the joint. It’s an old method, often scorned by modern vets, but it works!! Must be something about the properties of blood that assists cartilage formation & healing.
And it is not invasive. I don’t tell far & wide that we’ve used it, as people look at you with raised eyebrows. But I watch them battle with their expensive surgery methods and I believe that the dogs I’ve seen recover from this as well and quicker.
It means shaving the neck which takes forever to regrow, but after this procedure, a few days on Rimadyl and they MUST be as active as possible on that leg. I promise you, I have no explanation for how & why, but it works soooo well. If a dog is not active, you take if for walks daily, but it must be active for this to work well. We regularly refer dogs tearing cruciates (Rottweilers, Boerboels, Staffies, etc.) to a vet who does this procedure, and 98% of people are DELIGHTED with the speed, ease & good recovery. "// UNQUOTE
So my questions are; Has anybody heard of this treatment? If so; Does it work? What is the outcome on arthrosis in the future?
