Pre-Consult Form: Internal Medicine

"*" indicates required fields

Thank you for visiting our Internal Medicine Department. To better assist us in diagnosing and treating your pet, please take a moment to complete the questionnaire below regarding medical history PRIOR to your appointment time. This information is very helpful in getting an accurate history of your pet’s condition.

If you are unable to complete this form prior to your appointment, we ask that you arrive 30 minutes early to fill it out then.

The length of your pet's appointment will vary depending on the type of diagnostics and/or severity of their condition. If you have specific time constraints or scheduling difficulties, please contact our internal medicine liaison directly at 518-783-3198.

Do not allow your pet to urinate immediately before your appointment (in case we need to collect a urine sample). Do not feed your pet for 12 hours prior to your appointment (water is ok). *If your pet is diabetic, feed and give insulin as usual.

Please list or bring any medications or supplements your pet is currently on, or has recently taken (including medication strength and dosages).
