Taking Your Newly Adopted Kitten To A New Veterinarian

 

If you are looking for veterinary consultations because you recently acquired a new pet kitten, be sure to ask about parasite (heartworm/flea/tick) prevention, vaccination, environmental enrichment, nutrition, and general information about caring for your pet.  For veterinary consultations regarding your pet’s medical issues, be sure to ask specifically about that issue, particularly treatment options, medications, and changes in your pet’s lifestyle that might happen. 

If this would be a first-time consultation with a new vet, you must give the doctor complete information regarding your pet cat’s medical history. 

Previous medical information could be emailed in advance to your vet or you can take it with you during your visit.  Records like these could include test results, lab work, current medication, radiographs, and various other imaging results, as well as other relevant information.  If your kitten is newly adopted, take with you any paperwork that you got from the adoption process. 

Understanding the cat food brands you feed your cat, as well as the quantity you feed her, will also be of help to your veterinarian Webster, NY when they get to know your pet.
