Greylover97 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I was pretty unhappy with the vet for several years but decided to stick with them because the kids have been seen there for 10 years. The lack of care Jake received at the end sealed the deal that it's time to find someone else. Should I have Carolina's records transferred over to the new practice I choose?

cleptogrey Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 i would but if it makes you feel very uncomfortable either do it by phone or if carolina doesn't have any major problems and you know her history then just skip it. best of luck.

DesiRayMom Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I would, absolutely. Medical history & past labwork results are important for whoever takes over Carolina's healthcare.

tbhounds Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 If you're not comfortable calling them have the new vet request records. Occasionally your old vet may ask you to give permission but, if they do then of course say yes. The new vet should have a complete medical history of Carolina (love her name).

Bogangles Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 We have often requested to have the records given or sent to us directly and then give them to the new vet. This way we know what is being communicated. We also requested the records for our boy after he left us -- it was painful but needed to see the complete history in the records.

Guest IrskasMom Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) I switched Eye Care Specialist in the Midst of Morty's Problems . Bedside Manners from your Pers. Doctor is very Important and so it is with the Care we receive for our Animals. At least to me it is. Let your new Vet request the Files .

greysmom Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Most vets I've had will request the old files from the previous vet, but if you don't want them to know you're switching you should ask for them to be sent to you. Depending on how you feel about them, you might consider letting them know why you're leaving the practice.

GeorgeofNE Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I get copies of all important stuff when it's done, but yes, absolutely, ask for a copy of your records.

DonnaBehr Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I always get copies of EVERYTHING from any vet visit on all of my greys/dogs. That way, if I need to make a switch (which I have only done once), I have all of the records for the new vet.
