I'm getting back on my regular blogging schedule, though I'll be talking about writing some too. Today's "make a difference monday" is a PSA about establishing a good working relationship with your vet before something goes wrong. Don't worry all my fur-kids are healthy, but it's something to think about, and it's been on my mind lately.

With a diabetic kitty, a hyperthyroid kitty, a kitten, (plus three other healthy cats), and a horse, it's very important to maintain communication with my vet now. That way, if something does happen (such as Nermal getting a kitty cold), then we know what's normal for him and can get him treated (he's just fine now!).

So if you pet hasn't been in to the vet for annual vaccines or a wellness exam, now is the time to do it. For horse owners, they say measure TPR (temp, pulse rate, respiration) is very important so you know when those spring bugs attack what your horse's usual range is. Is it a fever? Or does your horse normally run a degree or two higher than normal?

Our pets can't tell us when something isn't right. It's our job to monitor them and know what's been happening. Wellness exams are part of that, and if something goes wrong, your vet, and your pet, will thank you.
