I was very fortunate (maybe the only good thing about mudji's osteosarcoma) to find a wonderful holistic vet who is a member of this organization. He uses conventional therapies where warranted, but usually as a last resort. I just returned from there for Weezie to have her rabies vaccination. She was pronounced healthy at age 10+.
It was interesting on this visit. I guess they have instituted a "wellness" program that the vet tech was pushing me hard on. Asking about when I'd had the last distemper, etc. I suggested that she look at the records, as she had all of them in front of her. I did not say much, just to suggest that we were taking a more holistic approach to Weezie's care that's why I was seeing this particular vet. I noticed when he did the paperwork, much of the conventional shots, etc, were all crossed out, with a note "no more". Not sure if that's because of her age, or what.
And as a side light, I also have taken a much more holistic approach to my own health. As a result, the usual week long cold/flu that I normally would get in the winter, never arrived! Not sure if it's because of the holistic approach, but it was nice not to be sick.
Thanks for this, Peter.
