🩺 Screening Section Dr. Meow

Important for several key reasons:

• ✅ 1. Identify Current Health Condition of the Cat
  🐱 Screening allows the doctor to assess early signs of illness, unusual behavior, or hidden symptoms that owners may not notice.
  💉 This is important even if only coming for vaccination or grooming.
• ✅ 2. Prevent Infection or Risk to Other Cats
  🤧 If symptoms such as sneezing, watery eyes, or weakness are present, your cat may risk infecting other cats in the clinic.
  🚨 Screening allows for separation or immediate action if needed.
• ✅ 3. Preparation for Treatment
  🩻 The doctor can determine if further treatment is needed (such as blood tests, X-ray, or specific medication).
  🕒 It also helps the doctor schedule time and prioritize cases according to actual health needs.
• ✅ 4. Assessment Before Procedures
  🐾 If your cat comes for neutering, vaccination, or boarding — prior screening ensures the cat is healthy and safe for the procedure.
• ✅ 5. Reduce Risk of Complications
  🩺 A basic check can identify early problems that, if untreated, may worsen — e.g. high body temperature, wounds, dehydration, or anemia.

✨ In short:
Screening is not just a formality. It is an important step to protect your cat’s health and other cats in the clinic.
