The Vet Practice

It's not uncommon to seek out a second opinion when you are uncertain about a specific recommendation or diagnosis of your pet's health problem.

Arriving at a diagnosis is an investigative process and often involves more than one step. For example, blood or other tests may be needed to diagnose or rule out specific conditions.

An X-Ray or Ultrasound may be needed to visualise an internal problem which can't be evaluated simply through an external examination.

A course of medication may be prescribed to test the patient's response.

And - as different vets approach problems from different perspectives - there may be more than one way to arrive at a final diagnosis.

A second opinion is exactly that. A second person's point of view that may or may not be different from the first.

Naturally experience counts for a lot. This is why we always have senior vets available to assist less experienced vets with their specific cases which are discussed daily.
