Question 1

My pet had this problem a month ago, can't I just get the same medication?

Accepted Answer

At Bowdon Animal Hospital, it depends on the problem, but most likely, we are going to require your pet to be seen again, even if they were diagnosed and treated for the same medical condition recently. Some medical conditions look similar, and by assuming it is the same condition, we may not be treating your pet appropriately. Certain medications may also result in resistance which can cause a lack of response or, worse, a more severe problem if given too frequently or inappropriately. An exam to ensure proper diagnosis is what is best to keep your pet healthy for years to come.

Question 2

Is it REALLY necessary to give my cat or dog flea, tick, and heartworm prevention year-round?

Accepted Answer

At Bowdon Animal Hospital, Our weather is unpredictable, and even in the winter, we experience warm days. Flea, tick, and mosquito activity decreases with cooler weather but requires freezing temperatures over a sustained number of days for them to die. Intestinal parasites are a year-round occurrence, and heartworm prevention also keeps these parasites under control.
