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.
