This article hasn't yet been reviewed by a veterinarian. It is based on the published sources listed below.

What to bring

  • A summary of doses given and any missed or skipped doses (FIP Together's Vet Report).
  • Your health journal: weight, appetite, energy, mobility, anything unusual.
  • Copies of previous blood tests and imaging reports, especially from other clinics.
  • Your medication, if your vet wants to check it.

Questions you might ask

  • How is treatment going, based on today's examination and results?
  • Does the dose need to change with my cat's weight?
  • When is the next blood test or check-up?
  • Which signs should make me call before then?
  • What happens when the planned treatment period ends?

Write down the answers, or add them as notes in the app, so you can refer back to them.
