Why did the Vet think that your dog has horrible hips? Was the dog x-rayed for hip evaluation. I am a breeder of Labs and I also show them. We do OFA hips, elbows and a number of other health clearances. The only way to know if there are problem hips is a properly positioned radiograph that is then sent to the OFA (orthopedic foundation for animals) to be read by their radiologists.
Hi Kuno,
There's a link in the article that'll help you assess risk. Here's that page, where you'll find the studies done on neutered animals and cancer.
To the extent that you step out of the conventional medical box, you increase the odds of a healthy outcome.
The best holistic method I've seen to get joints really cured (meaning well, and staying that way w/o ongoing treatment) is classical homeopathy. That means working with a professional. I've rarely had a patient not get sound when I've worked this way with them.
