To help me efficiently evaluate the prescription your pet has received, please monitor the following symptoms. Any or all of them may apply to your pet. Please keep all of the details in your journal, and send me a short update 24 hours before our appointment.
This list of potential symptoms was requested by some clients to help them keep track of their pet's progress. There are other practice handouts to explain the updating process in more detail.
Please always list % improvement, worsening or no change of these symptoms in your update. In some cases (like itching) it is also helpful to quantitate the symptom on a 1 to 10 scale. 1 being normal. 10 being excessive. For example. If your pet is constantly itching to the point of bleeding and unable to sleep, play, or enjoy any of life's normal activities, this would be a 10/10 itch level. A normal (occasional) itch level would be 1/10.
