Re: I got dumped...
yeah-- I was addressing the only part I really could-- plus I was in a rush.
the fact that she's willing to treat your cat but not your dog tells us one thing--
you're not obnoxious enough as a patient [owner] to dump or else she would refuse to treat your cat.
personally, I would get on her case and make her tell me why even if it meant needling her to the point of getting her to admit that she has no clue what to do with your dog.
If she hit on a treatment with your cat and didn't with the dog, and thus only decides to treat the cat this tells me one of two things:
1. either she has no idea what to do with the dog and so doesn't want to take your money (kind of ridiculous since honest people like this would tell you)
2. or she has no idea with the dog, lucked out with the cat and wants to just keep on with the cat as bringing in money from you.
personally-- I would be doing the studying and the application of the alternative medicines myself at this point-- you can't trust this woman, and it also seems that her successes up to this point have been probably largely due to luck and less having to do with serious skill--- otherwise why wouldn't she keep treating your dog.
Stop whining about why people are dumping you and start asking why you keep going to less than upstanding pet naturopaths...
heck, either go to a human one and ask them to help your animals, contact one online who has an extensive background, or just do the damn dirty work yourself.
