Hi Barbara,
I suspect that's largely true, as it is in my case. I've given my practice over entirely to homeopathy for the last 20 years, and try to find colleagues in my city that won't badger my clients when they need lab work done or rarely, surgery. It hasn't been easy.
Ask your holistic vet for a well thought out referral, and go with your eyes open and a strong message on your lips: "We're only here for diagnostics" is one very useful one I have my clients armed with.
In my case, it's a conscious choice. Homeopathy takes a lot of work to practice well. It'd be a huge switch in gears to put on a surgeon's gown in the midst of that. I decided I wanted to be really good at a modality that can cure chronic disease, and not be distracted with other aspects of practice.
I wish you the best sorting out your options.
