It’s a good idea to keep an accurate medical diary, not only recording the procedures and vaccinations your pet receives at the vet but also noting details like your pet’s elimination habits, any physical changes, or unusual occurrences. Keep track of small shifts in behavior, including urinary marking habits, mood swings, diet, and routine changes. Bring this notebook to vet visits. These seemingly unrelated occurrences may help explain the results of your pet’s medical tests. Additionally, if you ever need to change vets, having this journal will provide a complete medical history.
Choose a veterinarian who is calm, compassionate, and willing to explain all the procedures your pet undergoes. Find a vet with whom both you and your pet feel comfortable. For convenience, choose a clinic with qualified staff and facilities for surgery and procedures requiring anesthesia, such as teeth cleaning. Due to the general risks associated with anesthesia—especially for very old, very young, or very ill pets—your veterinarian may recommend several exams, including a chest X-ray and blood and urine tests, before anesthesia is administered. During the procedure, your pet might need an IV drip, and antibiotics may be required before and after.
