#62 Why I Don’t Bash Conventional Veterinary Medicine

<p>I practice differently than I was originally trained.</p><p>But that does not mean I believe conventional veterinarians are doing it wrong.</p><p></p><p>And it definitely does not mean I believe we need to tear down one side of veterinary medicine in order to make room for another.</p><p>Most of us entered this profession for the same reason: we love animals, and we care deeply about the people who come with them.</p><p></p><p>Veterinarians take on an enormous amount of responsibility to do this work.</p><p>There are missed holidays, missed family events, long days, difficult cases, emotional decisions, years of sacrifice and then you have the financial investment into education. Aspects we all agreed to.</p><p></p><p>My goal is to be the veterinarian who asks: <b>What else can we consider?</b></p><p>Because different does not automatically mean better.</p><p>Conventional does not automatically mean wrong.</p><p>And integrative does not have to mean anti-medicine.</p><p>We can respect the foundation veterinary medicine gave us while still being curious enough to expand what is possible.</p><p></p><p><b>Links:</b></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.southernveterinaryservices.com/nutrition" target="_blank">Book your 1:1 nutrition consultation today</a></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.southernveterinaryservices.com/in-home" target="_blank">Book your 1:1 holistic in home visit today</a></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@The_NonTraditionalVeterinarian" target="_blank">Watch this episode on YouTube</a></p>
