If you have a dog with hip dysplasia or a torn cruciate you may be faced with the big decision of whether or not to do a very costly surgery and wondering if conservative management is an option. In this episode of 'Dogs that Can' podcast, host and canine rehab therapist Sarah MacKeigan and guest and integrative veterinarian, Dr. Steve Marsden, from Gold Standard Herbs and Ask Dr. Steve, discuss non-surgical approaches to healing hip dysplasia and cruciate injuries in dogs.
Dr Marsden shares real-life cases illustrating what is felt on palpation of these injuries and demonstrating the body's ability to heal itself naturally with treatment approaches including acupuncture, herbal formulas, and physiotherapy.
Cases shared include:
- Hip dysplasia with ligament laxity
- Cruciate injury (CCL tear)
- Sciatic pain mimicking hip dysplasia

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
