I have had a vet that did that in the past. He always gave me the possible bad news first - I guess so I could start preparing - and then when it turned out not to be bad, there was great relief but if it was bad, I'd had some time to start to deal with it without the full blow of reality. I hated that but in a way, it maybe is gentler to give you some time. Hopefully, your answers after tests are all the most positive they can be. Lots of prayers going Zoey's way - and yours.
