Ike's Bioscaffold Implants

We have been very pleased with our new Bioscaffold Implant procedure. The results have been nothing short of amazing. Wish we had some before footage to go with this, but you'll have to take our word for how lame this dog was 2 days ago. Ike is a 3 year old, 80 lb, Border Collie mix who suffers from multiple orthopedic issues -- particularly in his joints (hips, elbows and shoulders). He came to us after he had become acutely lame on his one "good" leg. This footage was taken this morning, one day after multiple Bioscaffold Implants.
