🩺 Screening Section Dr. Meow

Important for several main reasons:

• ✅ 1. Identify Your Cat’s Current Health Condition
  🐱 Screening allows the vet to detect early signs of illness, abnormal behavior, or hidden symptoms that owners may not notice.
  💉 This is important even when visiting only for vaccination or grooming.
• ✅ 2. Prevent Infection or Risk to Other Cats
  🤧 If there are symptoms such as sneezing, watery eyes, or weakness, your cat might pose a risk to others in the clinic.
  🚨 Screening enables isolation or immediate action if necessary.
• ✅ 3. Early Preparation for Treatment
  🩻 The vet can determine if further procedures (like blood tests, X-rays, or specific medication) are needed.
  🕒 It also helps the vet schedule time and prioritize cases based on true health needs.
• ✅ 4. Pre-Procedural Evaluation
  🐾 If your cat is coming for neutering, vaccination, or boarding — early screening ensures it’s healthy and safe for the procedure.
• ✅ 5. Reducing Risk of Complications
  🩺 Basic examination can detect early problems that could worsen if untreated — such as high fever, wounds, dehydration, or anemia.

✨ In short:
Screening isn’t just a formality. It’s an essential step to protect your cat’s health — and other cats in the clinic too.
