FAQs Literature Refs We're so glad Sadie was chosen for a part in the Vet-Stem research project. She's doing so much better, getting up steps great, and even getting on her brother's bed unassisted! She's in much greater spirits and really enjoyed her walk with us around the cotton fields. You helped a "miracle" happen! Thanks.
