Even though your pet may be showing the same symptoms as he or she did the last time, the problem may be different. Many diseases have similar symptoms, and your veterinarian needs to examine your pet to ensure that he or she correctly diagnoses the cause.

If the diagnosis is the same as previous, we still strive to try to get at the root cause of your pet’s problem. By just prescribing medication over and over, we may be missing the chance to treat the underlying illness.
