Nice work sorting, Annie. And brilliant that you went for a "well check up." No pressure.
The vaccination question will probably be the easiest place to start, as your experience bears witness. And, even if you have to compromise somewhat, you've found someone you can work with.
That leaves the door open for working with a homeopathic vet, should you choose to at some point. If sickness comes, you want treatment that works with your animal's innate intelligence, and many of my colleagues work from a distance.
Thanks for sharing your valuable experience.
