Is this treatment safe for my cat? What are the potential side effects? Have you used this treatment before? How many times? Those are just a few of the questions you should consider. If your veterinarian’s responses don’t reassure you–or if you’d like to be more certain you’re pursuing the right course of action for your cat–seek a second opinion. At Scout’s House, we regularly recommend talking to a Board-certified veterinary specialist when faced with making a decision about treating a serious disease. In your case that would be someone Board-certified in internal medicine. Please don’t let your fear of hurting your veterinarian’s feelings overshadow your responsibility to your cat; your Number One mission is to find the best possible treatment for your cat. Everything else beyond that is immaterial.
For great information and advice on how to advocate for your pet, read Dr. Nancy Kay’s book, Speaking for Spot. It’s the best book we’ve ever read for learning how to get the best care for your cat or dog–and on how to make the best health care decisions for your pet. It’s available on our online store at http://bit.ly/srVBJU

Is this a good idea?
