 How is it possible that we launched the Internal Medicine For Pet Parents website one year ago? Where did the time go? This last year has been full of learning and growth for us. We've worked hard to create weekly articles on our blog and to get the diseases section set up. Our amazing guest authors included:
Our most popular article this year was about pet food and the link to heart disease. It's a subject many people are still talking about and we wanted to make sure we shared information from a nutrition specialist. We launched the Internal Medicine For Pet Parents Series with the Pet Health Journals. Pet owners have raved about them and we even had one pet parent purchase 25 of the One Month Pet Health Journals for their veterinary clinic to hand out to other pet owners. How awesome is that?? What now?

We're working hard to ensure it is released every Thursday morning and has the highest quality information. We've had some amazing contributing authors and plan to keep bringing you the best we can. Currently the pages that have the most information are the urinary, endocrine, liver, hematology, and immunology. These pages are not 100% complete, but most of the basics are there. As we continue to grow, these pages will continue to be fleshed out. We're excited to have grown our newsletter list to over 100 subscribers!

Plans for 2019
This article will focus on the people you'd meet at a basic visit to your primary veterinarian. I'll cover specialists in a different post, click here to read that article.
Let's start at the beginning:
You've arrived at your veterinary office with your pet and you're both greeted by a front staff member who checks you in. The next stop is in an exam room where a staff member takes a history related to why your pet is at the vet and obtains vitals including weight, temperature, heart rate, and respiration rate. The veterinarian will do a physical exam and speak to you about what the plan is for the visit.
A veterinary technician will do the tasks recommended by the veterinarian and return your pet to you. If medications are prescribed by the veterinarian, the vet tech fills the prescription and discussed the medications with you. If you have questions, the vet tech can help get you answers. Check out the article about good things to bring with you to every appointment by clicking the link here. Then, it's time to leave and either the veterinarian or technician escorts you to the receptionist. The receptionist will process the payment for your visit and help schedule any follow up visits.
