This is the post I returned to the blog for. It concerns be greatly. Did I miss something? IMO, there is no replacement for good veterinarian treatment. Did you have a bad treatment that led you to feel otherwise?
We are all entitled to own opinions. However! Holisitic medicine can be dangerous. I can see a need if one doesn't have anything to lose. But otherwise I wouldn't dare bother rolling those dice!
I've known a couple vets that work with holistic practitioners. I can tell you stories about those crazos, all of have bad reputations as DVM's.
It's not to say that every single holistic practitioner is a quack. There are some good stories out there. I go back to, when you have nothing to lose why not? The holistic theory that all problems come from vaccinations is a lie. Just like Lady Wonder the Palm Reader, people come to them distraught. It's easy to blame anything where they can. They're lying & don't buy into all of it. In addition to this. A good vet SHOULD be all one needs. Yorkies don't need a therapist, trainer, personal shopper, whisperer, etc. Proper care by you and or a groomer & vet. That should be all that they need.
Even though Dr. Dodds is not a typical holistic vet. Any time you talk about a world renowned medical provider one must give credit. sort of like talking to Dr. Phil about problems in your family. Is he a good man or is it marketing? Well, BOTH! If you cannot take your pet to them for everything, are they really helping you that much? I'd ask them why? It's niche marketing & it's okay if you know it up front.
This is only my own opinion. You are entitled to your own. If we existed on holistic meds where would our yorkies be? We would not know or we would be too sick to care for them.
I won't titer, not me, no way!
