Look into regenerative therapies (stem cell). I wasted years and a fortune on x-rays, scans, ineffective pain relief, blood tests, joint taps, physio, hydro, laser, acupuncture and far far too long spent with my dog suffering! Heard of Andrew Armitage at Greenside Vets and regenerative therapy 15 months ago and travelled many miles to get his second opinion before I gave up and ended her suffering. She had stem cell implants and the rest is history.
No need for pain meds, top quality of life. I am now the proud owner of a ten-year-old puppy! Insurance paid for treatment no problem. Miracles are there for the taking.

I contacted Greenside vets in St Boswells really as a last resort. My dog, an approximately 6 years old American Bulldog, had been diagnosed with several debilitating conditions including hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia and lumbosacral disease. He ha undergone surgery to repair both his cruciate ligaments and had also been diagnosed with a torn bicipital tendon which had left him lame for about a year. Steroid injections had had little if no success and I had exhausted every attempt at medical management. Obviously surgery to treat so many areas was not an option.
It was heartbreaking to see my dog in constant pain. Like most dogs he loves to run and play but was unable to do so unless full of painkillers which was far from ideal. I was really at the end of my tether until thankfully I discovered Greenside via a google search and was introduced to regenerative medicine. I must say that initially I was hugely sceptical. It just sounded too good to be true. However, after a consultation with Andy who explained everything in great detail I decided to go ahead and Scooby had his first treatment on 18th April.
His recovery from the treatment was pretty straight forward. Exercise was restricted to 10 minutes of on leash walking 3 x daily for 2 weeks followed by 20 minutes of on lead exercise 3 x daily and so on increasing by ten minutes per walk every 2 weeks. During the first 2 weeks Scooby still seemed to be quite sore and then gradually he started to walk with more of a spring in his step. He became more playful and definitely a lot more mischievous. It is now 15 weeks since Scooby had his first treatment and I can honestly say that he is like a different dog. He is so happy, loving life, able to run and play to his hearts content without any sign of discomfort and no painkillers! It truly is a miracle! And so I would like to extend a heart felt thank you to all the staff at Greenside who were involved in Scooby’s care. He is strong and boisterous and VERY noisy but despite this the level of professionalism, care and kindness from the entire team has been second to none and I can’t thank you enough.

The Regenerative Medecine team are providing a combination of diagnositc tests and a treatments that aren't available under one roof, anywhere else in Scotland.
They have provided a very high level of care for my dog, and equally good support to me, both at the time of discharge and by telephone and e-mail at other times.
They do a great job of co-ordinating care for pets that come from further afield.
