The intent of this section IS NOT to replace a comprehensive physical exam by your veterinarian or the diagnostic tests they recommend. Many disease processes can look very similar and require a comprehensive physical exam by your veterinarian who may often require diagnostic testing to diagnose your pet’s condition. Please keep in mind these topics ARE NOT ALL INCLUSIVE. Do not attempt to diagnose or treat your pet based on this information. This section is for general information only. This web site is designed to help you better understand the problem your pet has been diagnosed with.
Nothing can replace the hands-on physical exam provided by your veterinarian. If the information on this website differs from the information provided by your veterinarian follow your veterinarians recommendations. If you have questions regarding any aspect of your pet’s care discuss it with your veterinarian first. If you still have questions and concerns or would like a second opinion, most veterinarians can provide you with a list of Board Certified Specialists in your area.
