Walk in with answers, not apologies.
“She's been off for a while” wastes the appointment. A dated history focuses it.
The 10-minute prep
- List the current problems — each symptom with when it started and how often.
- List every medication & supplement with doses and when each started.
- Note appetite, drinking, energy, stool — changes, with dates.
- Bring the timeline — a Pet Health Journal vet link or printout beats memory.
- Write your questions down — three max, most important first.
