Follow Up Treatments & Vet Chekups
A follow-up is contacting a patient later to review the patient’s progress since their last appointment. Appropriate follow-up can help you identify misunderstandings, answer questions, make further assessments, and adjust treatment.
You can follow up to:
- Monitor health.
- Reinforce knowledge and action plans.
- Confirm medicine regimens.
- Schedule appointments.
- Verify follow through on referrals.
- Share lab results.
Also known as post-operative care, a surgical follow-up is a routine procedure carried out immediately after the surgery and typically extends for a few days or months until the patient has fully recovered.
Test and diagnostic follow-ups are when doctors provide diagnostic information to pet owners. Doctors will discuss these reports with you and tell you whether your pet needs further treatment. The meeting between the doctor and the pet owner is scheduled only when test results reveal abnormalities that require discussion or further investigation.

Post-operative wound care includes a timely review of the wound, appropriate cleansing and dressing, early recognition, and active treatment of wound complications.
Pre-visit planning communicates to patients that the practice is planning to make their next visit as meaningful and productive as possible. Pre-visit planning saves time, reduces practice costs, and improves patient care
