Interviewing a new veterinarian - questions?

[BorisV]

Hi! So, I've had it up to here with the veterinary hospital I am currently using - sad really as the original Doctor I'd been going to for 30 years and when he sold, he went with it. I've spent over $3,000 there in the last month - was voted "customer of the month" (HA! Is that due to the amount spent?!!!) But whenever I ask questions I get the "roll of the eye" ...... it's adding to my stress level and I am on a new mission to eliminate all undue stress so I can concentrate on Tashie and her health.

I made an appointment for Friday morning to see someone new. I am not taking Tashie but going to sit and "interview" this vet to see is she, too, rolls her eyes. She is also supposed to believe in a lot of holistic stuff as well and have an "open mind"

I have seen posts in the past where there has been sort of a "vet interview question list" - should have bookmarked as I can't find right now - does anyone know of this?

Any links, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Bern & Tashie

See my signature link Vet Interview Topics for just a few things you may wish to ask.

Here's a link to on older post w/ lots of good suggestions and a PDF w/ questions for a new vet.

Make you own list of the things that concerned you and made you want to change vets, too.

Thanks BJM, my vet still not up to date wont talk to me about Lucky because I don't use pet meter and she can't understand the SS I sent to her says it just numbers because of human meter and had no idea what a lantus pen was... :smile:

I'd also take along printed out copies of the TR protocol, the official one w/ the clinical studies. It helps some vets if what you want isn't "something from the internet". :roll:
