Hi Janet,
Yes, having a kit at home is a great resource. I love to see my clients have one for emergencies, because it can 90% keep you and your pets out of the ER.
Until we homeopathic vets figure out how to clone ourselves, don't be afraid to work long distance, by telephone. At the AVH link on my Resources page, you'll be able to see what percentage of a vet's practice is homeopathic, whether they are certified or not, and whether they offer phone consultations. The key that allows this to work is you knowing your animal very well, and, with a bit of coaching from your homeopath, you can describe your animal's symptoms in a way to allow a proper prescription to be made.
It's definitely possible to have your homeopathic vet be your "primary physician" and use the services of a local conventional vet on occasion for surgery, lab work, radiographs etc. That's how most of my clients work with me.
All the best, and thanks for stopping by the comments.
