Hi Janice,
You've recognized that there simply aren't enough holistic vets to go around, and while that's true, you still have options.
Most of my clients use me exclusively as their "primary physician." On rare occasion, I'll need to send a patient in for a lab workup, or even more rarely, a surgery. It's quite possible you could work with someone by telephone appointments and use your local vets for the neutering and odd testing needs that come up. I do this for a number of long distance clients, and it works well. We have to get to know your animal intimately for homeopathy to work, so you have to be a watchful, descriptive owner, but most folks get the hang of it pretty quickly. See my Resources page for listings of homeopathic vets and see if you can't find someone to work with. They'll also be listed by geography, and who knows, maybe one or two who haven't shown up in your Google searches to date.
Best of luck.
