A cat’s body language and additional intuitive messages suggest a wealth of information to your veterinarian. That line of contact will probably be constantly open.
However, if communication between the veterinarian and the cat’s owner is not possible, any interesting conversation initiated by the cat is a waste of time. On this basis, fluent human language is dear.
As soon as a vet speaks your personal language, you can be sure that he or she fully understands your cat’s struggle with constipation, allergies, heartworm or any other feline illness. He can provide fine points about your cat’s pregnancy and be well recognized. He can articulate his concerns about the puppies’ needs and acknowledge that he has collected top-notch information. He can ask questions about cat health and get answers that not only make sense, but are fully understood.
Also, when providing life-saving care such as veterinary surgery or administration of pet medications, it is very important that you, the pet owner, know the instructions for the preparation, aftercare and dosage of cat medications. If there is a communication breakdown involving you and your pet’s veterinarian, your cat may experience severe penalties.
Cat health disorders are often discovered after an inclusive consultation, in which the cat’s signs are described. If you can’t be sure that your cat’s doctor has understood every single symptom you’ve described, then you can’t feel confident about the care your cat will receive.
Do not be shy. Ask a vet and vet clinic staff if they speak English confidently. Start a dialogue that establishes your claims; before making your cat’s initial appointment.
A veterinary check-up or a sick appointment is not the time to brush up on your French or pick up some practical German skills. Alternatively, it should be a channel with an intent in mind; the sustained good health or healing of your cat. And that can be achieved simply when your communication with the vet is as seamless as the communication your cat sends. Meow!
