The good news is that there is a growing number of veterinarians who are adopting a more holistic approach to their practice. If there are no holistic vets in your immediate area, you can still work with one by phone, in conjunction with your local vet. In such a situation, it is obviously imperative that you find a local vet with a least an open mind, one who will be willing to work under the direction of your long distance holistic vet. This kind of long distance relationship works very well for thousands and thousands of caregivers. When symptoms of scratching and other aberrant behavior arise, always have your pets checked by a vet.
Any vet is better than none.
