I can't find a list of these vets on your site. Can you give me the link?
I took my dog in to his "holsitic" vet today. The vet gave me a long scary lecture on what the lump might be and how I needed to have it removed by him with a special surgical technique. He does not do needle biopsies. Then he picked up the rabies shot and prepared to inject it. I asked him how he could give that if my dog had such a worrisome lump. He said vaccines don't cause any problems except maybe a temporary blood thinning! I was stunned into silence during which he injected the rabies vac. into my dog. As if that weren't enough, when I left they gave me a visist summary indicating my dog was not up to date on other shots. None of my dogs get parvo or distemper after a year old.
So I am ready to work with an out of town holistic/homeopathic vet, but who do I use here for things like blood draws, or maybe the needle biopsy, that require hands on? How do people resolve this issue?
