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
