I always tell my home health patients to make a list of concern or questions when they go to the Dr. U think most people get anxious and forget ESP if you are worried. Write down your little ones symptoms. I like journals do I write few examples of the problems. I will give you an example. Tuttie at 1/3 of her a cup of _______ food at 9 am. She vomited a quarter sized amount of clear vomit at 930 am. She drank water 5 times today She played about 30 min and slept the rest of the time. She pee pee'd 3 times today. She pooped 1 x at 12 noon it was brown and soft with some watery consistancy
This way your vet has a much clearer picture. I use potty pads when my little ones are sick for 2 reason. One I can see how much they pee pee'd and if it dark colored or has an Oder to it
I also video any things that seems odd to show my wet. Mollie had a really as cough and of course when she was at the vet she never did that. I was back at the vet a few days later for the same thing this time I hassle taped it so the. Wt was able to see what I was. On what I was concerned with. I also take picks of strange poops or vomit just to paint a better picture
Write down you question to discuss with the vet. This is your child so you are nervous when you go theses tools will help you I would also recommending getting another vets oppenion. You can use the Internet to research the vets. You may find home of them have extensive traing in different areas
I hope this helps get you a diagnosis. I hope your little one gets well soon! |
