What do you do when your veterinarian can\u2019t figure out what\u2019s wrong with your pet<\/strong>? Most of the time, with excellent veterinary medical training and state of the art diagnostic tools<\/a>, veterinarians can accurately diagnose pets when they experience ill health<\/a>. But that isn\u2019t always<\/em> the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some medical issues are complex, or they masquerade as another similar disease or condition. The same symptoms can be due to multiple health issues, and narrowing them down to the right diagnosis requires time and a greater measure of expertise. Humans aren\u2019t always easy to diagnose and neither are our furry family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your veterinarian can\u2019t figure out what\u2019s wrong with your dog or cat<\/em><\/strong>, your friends at Oakland Veterinary Referral Services<\/a> may be able to help. Let\u2019s take a closer look at what you should do to get your furry friend an accurate diagnosis and the right treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

When the Diagnosis Is Unclear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just like in human medicine, some illnesses in pets can be challenging to pinpoint. Pet owners become concerned when they know something is wrong with their pet, by observation or by intuition, but they don\u2019t yet have a clear diagnosis or the one they have doesn\u2019t feel right. Because pets are family, you don\u2019t want to accept a diagnosis that doesn\u2019t feel right to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what do you do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Get a second (or third opinion)<\/strong> \u2013 Veterinarians can occasionally misdiagnose a health issue – not because they aren\u2019t good providers but because they are human, and it may be a tricky diagnosis. If you feel uneasy about your pet’s diagnosis, don\u2019t be afraid to ask questions. Let your veterinarian know why you think they may have missed something. Let them know what you found on Google or observed, and your concerns. If that doesn\u2019t help, we recommend that you seek another opinion and have them examined elsewhere. Make sure that you provide your pet\u2019s medical records and test results to the veterinarian. If that doesn\u2019t help…<\/li>
  2. Seek out a specialist <\/strong>\u2013 Veterinary Internists and other specialist<\/a>s have additional education and knowledge in complex illnesses and diseases. Just as a human cardiologist will have more specialized training than your primary care doctor, specialists like those at OVRS<\/a> have completed additional training in areas of oncology, ophthalmology, endocrine disorders, and a wide variety of specialized veterinary medicine. They can work with your veterinarian to help find the right diagnosis. If your vet doesn\u2019t refer you for some reason, see a second veterinarian or come into our emergency service if urgent.<\/li>
  3. Make note of symptoms and timelines<\/strong> \u2013 Your observations can be a huge help to your veterinarian. Write down symptoms, when they started, and any unusual pet behaviors or changes in the household. These notes can aid in figuring out the correct source of the problem. Also make note of your pet\u2019s response to treatment. If your pet is having an unusual or unexpected response, it can provide additional information about the health issue.<\/li>
  4. Agree to further diagnostic testing <\/strong>\u2013 Many times, a veterinarian can\u2019t come to a precise diagnosis due to cost concerns on the part of the pet parent. If your veterinarian suggests additional tests, it is because it is in your cat or dog\u2019s best interest and yours to better understand what\u2019s occurring in your pet\u2019s health. While some tests may not provide answers, others may offer exactly the information that your veterinarian needs. Additional lab testing, X-rays, ultrasound, and other advanced diagnostics can be pricey<\/a>, and we understand. But the veterinarian is then expected to make an accurate diagnosis with only partial information. It doesn\u2019t make sense to seek a second opinion if you haven\u2019t first completed the recommended tests.<\/li>
  5. Seek out a veterinary school <\/strong>\u2013 If you cannot afford to see a specialist directly, many veterinary colleges have lower cost clinics. They have veterinarians who are training to become board certified. They are also well-equipped with the most up-to-date technologies and equipment, which is essential in diagnosing medical problems that are difficult to understand.<\/li>
  6. Certain diseases are hard to detect<\/strong> \u2013 Before throwing in the towel, some diseases are slow to progress and show minimal or elusive signs in their early stages. This is why ongoing wellness examinations are crucial in early diagnosis. Diseases like heart disease<\/a> and renal diseases are hard to detect and require extensive testing to determine their presence, often through the help of a board certified specialist. With issues like allergies, it can take time to zero in on what is triggering your pet\u2019s reactions and the best way to treat their allergy symptoms.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    When Your Vet Can\u2019t Figure Out What\u2019s Wrong\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    When your veterinarian can\u2019t figure out what\u2019s wrong with your dog or cat<\/em><\/strong>, please have patience and talk to your vet about a referral to a veterinary specialist. There are several conditions that require more advanced or specialized testing or treatment that cannot be addressed by standard veterinary medicine. This is why OVRS and veterinary specialists see many referrals on complex medical cases. We welcome your questions should your pet have a condition that remains undiagnosed. Please contact us.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
