urgent request for rhawk..or anyone who

I know this is a cat board but it was suggested to me that I ask this here.
My 13 year old German Shepherd has had Renal failure for almost two years onw. I have been giving him the usual IV fluids and special diet foods. The last two months he has been getting bad - not eating or drinking on some days. Now he is getting real bad about eating. He acted fine today and was very alert and drank. He even wanted to go outside a lot. He seemed fine until I tired to feed himn and he refused everything except what I can't give him -regular dog treats.
What I ;need help with is somehting I thought of a month ago. I wish I had thought of it a lot earlier, before the final stages. I am looking for someone who can use bone marrow stem cells to repair his kidneys. I know it is being done for humans in London. I have been searching on the Net and contacting Vet Universities around the US. I know someone is doing it. A lot of these Universities have used it to cure some cancers in doags. Not many of them will talk to me since I am just the owner and because of politics and money I have been told. My vet did something simillar for someone's catr with kidney disease. He has been trying to get in touch with the physician who had the contacts and tools to do it (he was the cats owner) for a month now. His cat's doing fine. I waited a month for this guy and nothing! Please has anyone heard of or know of someone or somewhere bone marrow stem cells are being used either for cancer in dogs or kidney failure? I am desperate and time is running out fast.

I've never heard of that being done and we try to keep up with the things going on in modern medicine.
Jillpear,
Hello. I know renal failure only too well (having lost Electra last year and Leo in early stages now).
