I'm sorry your had that experience. Itoo too my fur girl to a 'holistic' vet who squeeze me for $200 for a phone consultation it was worthless.
she wanted to sell me some supplements that her practice sold. I told her I would get them on Amazon or from pet meds or someplace that was led expensive
She wasn't a specialist, and charged more than a specialist. I should have researched her a lot more than I did. I asked for some kidney specific recipes and she gave me some copy of some lame recipe that she had laying around and that's all she did. so I know some of these so-called holistic vets are quacks that just want to take your money.

Rebecca, I had the same kind of experience with Dr. Messionier.
This was early on, in my journey toward holistic vets.
My female has inhalant allergies that presented at 9 months old.
He wanted to give her a parvo booster!!!
It was I who demanded a titer, and it was then I started to question his "holistic" title.
It was downhill after that. I left his practice because I honestly felt he was not in the least holistic, at least in the way I view holistic medicine, after all why on earth would he look at me with a crazy face when I suggested a titer. Shouldn't he be the one suggesting this to me?
Sigh.....
But, on a positive note, my journey led me to find Dr. Falconer, who is and always has been the real deal!
One thing I tell folks at the store I work at, which comes in handy.
I recommend they have the tech write in big bold print at the top of my dogs charts.
Absolutely NO VACCINES or Medications administered . This way, they won't try to sneak one in on you, as I have heard happens.

Good to know, Rebecca. I forgot about Dr. Messionier. Had a disagreement with him years ago over something regarding one of my Dane fosters and never went back to him. We just need to keep searching and asking and finding things out ourselves so that we are armed and dangerous, I mean informed, when we walk into the vets' offices.
