Not medical advice. This worksheet helps you notice, organize, and ask. Share it with your veterinary team and follow their guidance for diagnosis, treatment, and urgent care.

01 / Capture at home

Make the ordinary pattern visible.

Use one row per day. Short phrases are enough—note what was given, what you noticed, and what felt different from your dog’s usual.

04 / Hand off in 90 seconds

Who is following up?

Keep this page with your dog’s records. If your dog seems suddenly or seriously worse, contact your veterinary team or an emergency clinic rather than waiting for the next appointment.
