Pulpito

When I adopted Pulpito in Puerto Vallarta Mexico, he could not stand on his hind legs. He
had been found on the street likely having been hit by a vehicle. He was about six months
old and weighed 9 pounds. I took a chance adopting him, but the fact that he had an appetite
gave me hope. When I got back to New York, I contacted Dr. Gladstein, whom I had met in New
York before my departure for Mexico, knowing of her excellent reputation as a general
veterinarian, as well as her specialty in orthopedic issues. The vet in Mexico had said he
had a broken hip but I knew it was more than that. In fact, he had a crushed hip and knee on
the right rear, and broken bones in his left rear leg too. His right rear leg was almost
atrophied. Dr. Gladstein ordered Xrays and we discovered that his damage was quite
extensive. While we consulted a surgeon, Dr. Gladstein recommended alternative therapies
which turned out to be the much better decision – much more effective, less invasive and, of
course, much less expensive. With laser therapy, A-cell therapy, electric stim, the right
supplements (including those especially prepared by Dr. Gladstein), and proper food Pulpito
has made a great recovery. You would never know this was the same dog I brought home months
before. He weighs a healthy 15 pounds, runs, jumps, loves playing with other dogs, lifts
both legs to do his business, and has a lot of energy. Thank you, Dr. Gladstein, for
returning this wonderful pet to health. I feel very lucky to have him under your care.

German shepherd

I would like to thank Dr.Babette Gladstein for the wonderful treatment that my dog received
for his ACL tear. The injury happened in September 2014 and we were immediately offered
traditional surgery. My research lead me to this wonderful option of using prolotheraphy,
the hardest part was to find veterinarian who can do it. Many vets that I called never even
heard from it. I was very lucky to find Dr.Gladstein who has extensive experience in
successfully using this modality. We started our prolo in September 2014 and received 4
treatments. My dog never displayed any visible discomfort from the treatment, but was
noticeably getting better. His gate became very fluid and his strength significantly
increased.

Dr.Gladstein followed prolo with stem cell injections and then PRP treatment.

The combination provided not only complete healing of the ACL but increased strength and
endurance of my dog. We are able to continue our Schutzhund training and participate in
competitions.
