Hello! It sounds like you're looking to understand how vets assess what's going on with your pet. Let me explain a bit about the process, so it might give you some insight into what your vet could be considering.
When a pet has an issue, vets often look at a range of potential causes. This starts with a thorough history and physical examination. We might ask about changes in behavior, appetite, or activity level, as these can give clues to what might be happening. Common causes of health changes can include infections, digestive problems, allergies, or even stress.
At home, keep an eye on your pet’s eating and drinking habits, and monitor whether there's any vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or other unusual behaviors. Giving your pet a quiet and comfortable area to rest can help if they seem a bit off.
However, watch for serious signs like persistent vomiting or diarrhea, difficulty breathing, significant weight loss, or noticeable pain. These can indicate that you should seek veterinary care promptly.
Feel free to schedule a video consult with Dial A Vet if you'd like more tailored advice or need peace of mind. We're here to help you and your furry friend feel your best!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
