Section: Follow-up
Optimal treatment for your pet requires a combination of home and professional veterinary care and follow-up is important. Administer prescribed veterinary medications as directed and be certain to contact your veterinarian if you are experiencing problems treating your pet. Your veterinarian should do a PCV or complete blood count (CBC) for anemic pets.
Your veterinarian should do repeat fecal examinations. Administer any prescribed medications; give yourself a reminder for treatments needed in the future.
Follow preventative veterinary recommendations.
