Next Friday with the Holistic Vet. the visit will be 1/2 hour to 45 min. they charge 67.50 for the visit. I hope we have enough time as we have lots to cover. I plan on putting together a history so that we can get through it quickly and then get right on with the nutrition. This vet supports RAW and all of the sudden I am scared to death as to what our outcome will be next week. I am sure we will leave there with supplements too bc when I was talking to the receptionist that made the appt for me. I was trying to figure out how long we would be there. My work is letting me come in late to make this appt as I can't get in on a saturday until the middle of May. I don't want this to wait any longer than it has to.

The receptionist said you will be here 30 min maybe longer and then if we need to fill some supplements for you count on being here at least an hour maybe a little longer. I am not opposed but this sounds as if we will talk about holistic supplements and leave there buying some of it.

any pointers i need to be aware of or things to ask about feeding raw or homecooked. I really am scared I am going to come home with a bag of raw food and ... i don't know what- ?? :-) I am so scared the raw may cause other problems. I have read good things about it and YTers that feed raw diet rave about it and the great things they have noticed since making the switch. Why am i so scared and do I have any reason to be?

This appt is with Dr Shawn and the crazy thing is they told me the visit is 67.50 for 30-45 min. The last nutritionist I spoke with said the visit was 1 hour 30 and it would cost 215.00! He seems pretty well known and I have seen some of his videos on youtube.

Oh- i am still so nervous. The girl told me people come form Califorinia and everywhere to get an appt with him. I only have to drive 15 miles. which is not super close or anything but dang... calif?!?! :-)

please- open to suggestions- OR anything- to ease my mind. I want to get the most out of our visit. OH btw- he also can suggest home cooked too and has recipes they said. I just don't know what to choose- home cooked or raw?? I guess we will have to see what he thinks is best for the girls and i just have to trust him.
