Preparing for a Vet Visit
No one loves your pet more than you. Part of that love is making sure they get the best veterinary care possible.
You can help your veterinarian deliver it when arranging for routine checkups, knowing when an emergency occurs, or following up after taking care of your pet.
Before booking
Your veterinarian will need some basic information about your furry friend, especially if you are introducing them for the first time.
• Names and dosages of all your pet's medications
• types of food they eat
• your eating habits;
• Toilet habits
• Recent travel or tick bites
• previous medical records, including immunization history;
Your veterinarian may also require a stool sample. Please call in advance and ask. If you have small animals such as birds or hamsters, you may not need to collect them.
Your pet may provide it on your way to an appointment or while you're at the office.
A visit to the vet can be stressful for your companion. Bring your favorite toy and blanket. Before visiting, ask if it's okay for animals to eat. Some health checks require animals to be pre-fasted. (Water is fine, just don't get dehydrated.) If food is fine, feel free to bring your favorite treats.
Cats, small animals such as ferrets and hamsters, and birds must be carried in a carrier. Dogs should at least be kept on a leash, but small dogs are better off in carriers.
If your pet doesn't get along with other animals, let the office staff know. It may be easier to wait in your car until your vet is ready for your appointment. Please call ahead to make sure the clinic is running on schedule.
Also, research your budget. This will allow the veterinarian to know the scope of the examination. Some people and veterinarians like to have their pets get regular blood tests.The basics like listening to the animal's heart and checking its eyes, nose, ears, teeth and feces. Some are satisfied. Find out how much you can afford to pay if a test shows your pet needs treatment.
Don't be afraid to ask questions or take notes. That's why vets are there.
Is it an emergency?
A visit to a veterinary clinic or veterinary clinic is necessary in the following situations:
• Difficulty breathing
• Sudden Paralysis – Your pet can no longer move all or part of its body
• seizures or loss of consciousness
• Vomiting lasting more than 1 day
• Trauma, such as being hit by a car or other heavy object
• bleeding from the eyes, ears, nose or mouth;
• blood in stool
• Possible fractures
• Your pet has been exposed to chemicals such as household cleaners, antifreeze, paint, or cosmetics.
Learn about the unique traits and habits of your type of pet. For example, some reptiles he can go without food for a month, and dogs and cats can skip meals without problems. Eat. Occasional diarrhea may not be a big deal for dogs and cats. Also, while many reptiles can go a month without him pooping, any change in your bird's poop should be immediately called to the vet. After taking care of your pet
What to do after booking your pet depends on your pet's health. After a regular check-up, you may only need to schedule an appointment for your next check-up. If you have a medical condition or have an emergency, your veterinarian can tell you what signs to look for and when to call for any changes or symptoms. It will teach you how to give your companions the medicine they need.Be sure to come back for all recommended follow-up appointments. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to call and ask. Office staff can tell you to come back or calm you down.
