🩺 Dr. Meow's Screening Area

Why screening is important:

• ✅ 1. Identify Current Health Condition
  🐱 Screening allows the vet to detect early signs of illness, unusual behavior, or hidden symptoms that owners might miss.
  💉 This is crucial even for simple visits like vaccination or grooming.
• ✅ 2. Prevent Infection or Risk to Other Cats
  🤧 If your cat shows signs like sneezing, watery eyes, or weakness, it may pose a risk to other cats at the clinic.
  🚨 Screening helps with immediate isolation or care if needed.
• ✅ 3. Early Preparation for Treatment
  🩻 The vet can decide whether further tests are needed (such as blood work, X-rays, or medications).
  🕒 It also helps prioritize and schedule treatment based on the cat’s actual health needs.
• ✅ 4. Evaluation Before Any Procedure
  🐾 For procedures like neutering, vaccination, or boarding — screening ensures your cat is healthy and safe to proceed.
• ✅ 5. Reduce Risk of Complications
  🩺 Basic checks can detect early issues that, if untreated, could worsen — such as high fever, wounds, dehydration, or anemia.

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