Mine-will-ask,if-there-are-any-health-issues,or-area-of-concern.This-opens-the-door-to-discussion,in-case-something-has-not-been-right,or-something,however-small,is-different.They-should-ask-how-have-they-been-behaving,and-most-importantly,if-anything-has-changed.
This-means-you,or-them.As-in,if-your-sitation-has-changed,it-can-affect-them.
They-should-also-ask,what-you-are-feeding.This-means,wet-or-dry,what-food-or-foods,and-how-much.
They-ask-that,incase-there-should-be-a-issue-down-the-road,it-helps-them-determine,if-its-food-related.
At-the-wellness-visits,you-should-give-as-much-information-as-you-can.This-is-starting-a-basic,of-how-they-are,any-changes-in-health-or-behavior,your-sitation,and-what-they-are-fed.
It-coorolates,to-their-weigh,if-it-fluctuates,is-is-because,your-situation-changed,new-pet-in-the-household,change-in-what-they-are-eating,or-how-much.
At-the-end-should-be-question-time,write-them-down-ahead-of-time,and-write-down-the-ansers.You-can-put-kitty-back-in-the-carrier,or-mine,they-go-play-in-the-baby-scale,LOL.
If-the-vet-seems-impatient,ans-your-questions,or-does-not-fully-explain-the-ans-so-you-understand-them,time-to-find-another-vet,before.......a-serious-issue-occurs,and-you-have-a-zillion-questions.
You-should-too,familiarize-yourself,with-what-tests-do-what,as-in,whatever-the-issue-is,you-should-know-ahead-of-time,what-tests-the-vet-will-run,what-the-test-will-show-or-not-show,and-then-what-tests-will-be-done-next.
With-this-educational-information,it-eliminates-unessary-tests,or-the-"well-lets-try-this".
Remember,you-are-paying-for-this,they-ain't-doin-it-for-free,and-above-all,its-YOUR-cat,he-can't-talk,its-your-responsibility,to-get-him-the-best-medical-tests-and-treatment-and-information.
Ask-your-vet,if-they-use-Antech-or-Idexx?
Ask,if-they-are-stumped,who-do-they-call,what-specialist,and-where.
Any-hesitation,or-not-willing-to-give-you-a-ans,you-best-run,out-of-there.
This-IS-a-test,and-you-best,know-the-ansers,it-could-mean-the-difference,in-getting-kitty-treated-right,or.....too-late.
If-a-kitty-is-blocked,how-long,do-you-have-to-seek-treatment,or.....its-too-late?
How-long-do-you-let-it-go,when-kitty-is-not-eating,before-you-take-them-in?
What-is-thee-very-first-thing,the-vet-should-do,if-presented-with-a-kitty-not-eating,or-throwing-up?
What-is-the-second-thing,if-the-first-thing-produces-no-ansers?
Yes,your-ans-will-be-graded.Ya.....I-am-beyond,overly-picky.
Knowing-the-ansers,saved-a-few-lifes.
