This prepares you for a vet. It does not replace one. If your pet is in distress, in pain or struggling to breathe, call an emergency vet now.

The prompt

This is about . Lately I’ve noticed . Don’t diagnose, and don’t suggest treatments, home remedies or doses. Those belong to the vet, the professional who can examine my pet. First, tell me if anything here is a reason to call a vet or an emergency clinic now. Then help me be a good witness, since my pet can’t speak. Ask me up to five questions, one at a time, about what has changed and what’s normal for this animal. Then write one page for the appointment: what I’ve seen in date order, what’s normal, what to bring or record, such as a video or the food label, and five questions to ask, including what the options cost. If you can’t tell whether something I noticed matters, say so and keep it in.
