help from other veterinarians, particularly specialists, within the
community. Gone are the days of All Creatures Great and Small when it was
reasonable for one doc to handle all medical maladies, great and small.
Advances in diagnostic and therapeutic technologies have made it impossible
for any individual to be proficient at everything. If your family vet has
been unable to arrive at a diagnosis, your pet’s condition is worsening or
not improving in spite of therapy, or a complicated procedure has been
recommended, enlisting help from another veterinarian makes really good
sense. If such discussion is not forthcoming, your vet is likely a do-it-
your-selfer.
2. Your vet prefers telling you what to do rather than discussing options.
This “paternalistic” style of communication hinders your ability to ask
questions and make well-informed choices, and successfully serve as your pet
’s medical advocate. Sentence starters from your vet such as, “You need to
…”, “You should…”, “You have to…”, or an unsolicited, “If I were
you I would…” are clues that you are dealing with a paternalistic provider.
3. Your vet doesn’t comply with current professional standards. For example
, he or she insists on annual vaccinations (parvovirus for dogs, distemper
for dogs and cats). The research supporting extension of the interval
between these vaccines from one year to three years first became public
knowledge approximately ten years ago. A vet who continues to administer
them annually is completely missing the boat in the continuing education
department or is eager to collect fees from unnecessary procedures. Neither
explanation is remotely reasonable.
4. Your vet has made a significant error while working with your pet. A
botched surgery, a missed diagnosis, a medical prescription error are
examples that should cause consternation. Yes, mistakes happen, but they
warrant some face time with your veterinarian to receive an explanation and
determine if you will be staying or taking your business elsewhere.
5. You or your pet simply don’t feel comfortable with your vet. Does your
normally delightful dog or cuddly kitty transform into Kujo the minute your
vet walks into the exam room? Do you feel uneasy asking questions and openly
discussing your worries or concerns? Pay attention to your observations and
gut feelings. If it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t right.
