Two adorable bulldog puppies with spina bifida receive first-ever stem cell treatment initially developed for children by UC Davis medical researchers.
Two bulldog puppies with spina bifida received a stem cell treatment at UC Davis in California meaning they can now run, walk and play.
The puppy siblings Darla and Spanky were treated with a therapy developed to help preserve lower-limb function in children with spina bifida, according to a UC Davis news release.
The puppies were transported from Southern California Bulldog Rescue to the UC Davis Veterinary hospital when they were 10 weeks old because spina bifida made it impossible for them to control their back-ends.
