Seeking ideas on what to ask my vet to check next

Thanks for reaching out with your question! It sounds like you’re looking for the next steps in figuring out what might be going on with your pet. While I don’t have all the details about their symptoms or behaviors, here are some general ideas on where to focus when you talk to your vet.



First, make a list of any recent changes in your pet’s routine, diet, or environment—these can often offer important clues. Let your vet know about any specific symptoms you’ve noticed, like changes in appetite, energy levels, or any unusual behaviors.



For common issues like digestive problems, you might ask your vet to explore food allergies or sensitivities, internal parasites, or gastrointestinal disorders. If your pet is showing signs of pain or discomfort, issues with mobility, or skin and coat changes, it could be worthwhile to check for joint problems or dermatological conditions.



At home, keep an eye on their eating and drinking habits, make sure they have a comfortable resting place, and provide a stress-free environment. Ensure they are hydrated and have access to fresh water.



If your pet appears lethargic, in pain, or if they have persistent vomiting or diarrhea, these can be signs of a more serious issue. In these cases, you should contact your vet promptly.



If you’re uncertain or if things don’t improve, consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet for personalized advice.
