FAQ’s

Why don’t veterinarians diagnose and/or prescribe over the phone and save you time?2022-10-05T02:19:38+08:00

For the same reason a medical doctor won’t, it’s both unethical and illegal. Without physically examining an animal, it’s impossible for the veterinarian to come up with an accurate diagnosis and rational plan of treatment.

A veterinarian can’t make a diagnosis based on symptoms only as observed by an owner. The outward signs may be an indication of any number of internal causes with a wide variety of clinical treatments. A complete physical examination and possibly other diagnostic tests are required to determine the cause of the symptoms and best course of treatment. And some medications are considered prescription medicines and it is illegal to dispense such items without a physical consultation.

Do I need a long consult appointment?2022-10-05T02:17:29+08:00

Just like an appointment at your GP, our standard 15-minute consultation at Vetwest is appropriate to address one health concern for your pet. If you have two or more health concerns or a complicated case, you will need to book a long consultation.

A long consultation allows our vet enough time with your pet to provide the appropriate recommendations on multiple concerns or complicated cases. Find out more here.
