Should my vet have caught this? I need perspective.

Hello there! It sounds like you might be feeling a bit concerned about something related to your pet's health. I'm here to help you figure it out, so let's try to unravel this together.



Veterinarians do their best to catch any possible health issues during exams, but some conditions can be quite tricky—sometimes they develop quickly, or the symptoms might not have been prominent at the time of your visit. Common things that vets usually check for during exams include dental health, weight changes, and any lumps or bumps.



If your pet is acting unusual—like if they're eating less, having trouble moving, or showing changes in behavior—these are often signs that a follow-up visit might be necessary. At home, you can keep an eye on their everyday habits. Make sure they're eating, drinking, and using the bathroom normally. Playtime and interaction can also tell you a lot about how they're feeling.



If you're seeing signs that concern you, such as persistent vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, those are indicators to reach out to a vet sooner rather than later. Trust your instincts—you're the expert on your pet.
