almost ditto.

I have a very good sighthound savvy allopathic vet but sadly the nearest homeopathic vet is several hours away but I do use a very good one via email/skype/telephone/forum and any other method available for general run of the mill things and general first aid.
I am lucky to have a brilliant acupuncturist who will do home visits for my hounds but I really wish I had a homeopathic vet within travelling distance.

That is the terminology for a "conventional" vet.

never heard of allopathic vet. want to try homeopathic vet as she occasionally eats greenery frenetically. sometimes i think its dog mercury which is poisonous. have seen on internet that dogs do sometimes eat d.merc like that but no one seems to know why.

I would be surprised if your dog is eating dog's mercury (if you have it in the garden) but dogs can and do munch on lots of greenery some of it to self medicate and some because it tastes nice.
