Do you risk driving out clients who would previously have used conventional medicine alongside homeopathy by challenging their belief system - and if that happens what will then happen to their animals? It might not be ideal but at least if they bring the animal in there is a chance to do something for that animal- or will it then be a case of didn&#39;t see it so don&#39;t care?</p> <p>Personally I would rather a diagnosis is made by a veterinary surgeon, and a disease process is explained by a veterinary surgeon &nbsp;and treatment is at least offered by a veterinary surgeon than somebody down at the local health food shop but this is what you risk. </p> <img src="https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/aggbug?PostID=157580&AppID=4&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
