One thing though.. it's always made me easier to work with for the vets. I probably get more leeway (helping on procedures etc) than most clients because I understand and want to know more.
You're right about most vets not knowing about the methyl B-12. I came armed with documents and websites, etc.

I completely believe that the vets not only give you more leeway, but are happy to have a client who understands what they do and, to a large degree, what they're saying. You're also fortunate to have a vet who's open-minded enough to look at the info you bring in and say "never heard of it, but it makes sense, let's give it a try." I was lucky that way too with Cat's vet and all of his specialists. But having been active at the feline diabetes board for quite a while, the stories of cats being diagnosed incorrectly, being given completely inappropriate treatments, etc. - with vets actually threatening to discontinue care if their expertise is questioned - are heartbreaking.
