Improving the Veterinary Medical Attention of our Cat

The choice of a Veterinary Doctor for our cat is not always
easy, we will have to find that professional who makes you and
patient feel comfortable. This can be done by references,
proximity of the address, affection, suitability, trajectory,
services, etc, in addition it is not necessary to only pay
attention to the cost but the quality of the professional and
the services. There can be variation in the levels between
professionals but also with the professional quality of
attention and services. Remember that our cat is not only one
financial investment and deserves the best attention.

Some questions that we must do to us before choosing a
Veterinary Clinic:

Are they specialist in the animal that we have? They have
attention of emergencies outside his commercial schedule. They
have agreements with other clinics to make studies shared? They
make consultations with specialists? They have services of
x-rays, ecografías, laboratory, internment, etc? They carry out
all the surgeries? Is the place clean and ordered? There are
disagreeable scents? There is good parking for cars? The
personnel is kind? The telephone is answered efficiently and
attentively?

Every day many cats receive medical attention of good quality.
They obtain the appropriate attention, when they need it, in the
way indicated with the best possible results. But once in a
while, something goes wrong. The animals receive medical
services that do not need or they cannot obtain that same
attention when and if they need it. Sometimes, the animals are
victims of medical errors that many, with our collaboration
could have been avoided. A medical error is a mistake that
happens while an animal is taken care of. The fact is that the
quality of the medical attention varies. There are many reasons
for which this happens, because the quality depends on many
things, for example docileness of the patient, how much is known
about the treatment and of his suffering, economic possibilities
(for example a treatment or to arrive at a diagnosis by means of
complementary studies) etc… investigations have shown that if
more in their veterinary medical attention becomes jumbled, it’s
possible to obtain better results and feel more satisfied. I
have here what you can do: * Work altogether with the Veterinary
Doctor, the assistants and other relatives to make decisions
related to the attention from your cat. * Follow the directions
of the medicine prescribed in the veterinary medicine or
pharmacy. * Ask, and you continue asking until he understands
the answers. He must right to speak with any person who is
involved in her attention. Ask how much experience the doctor
has in the treatment of the ailment. * When they give your cat
an x-ray or some analysis of the laboratory, do not suppose that
“no news is good news”, ask the professional when and how it
will receive the results. Will it be in person or by telephone?
* Ask the veterinarian who gives the scientific evidence about
the ailment and of the treatment options. Know that “more is not
always better.” Attempt to find out why your cat needs an
analysis or treatment and how it can help him. It could be
better not to have it. * If you cat is going to be put under a
surgery, ensure that you, their veterinary doctor and the
surgeon agree on the approach to take. Do everything that can be
done before and after the surgery to hurry your cat’s recovery.
