Frequently Asked Questions About Medication
What is Ease’s role in medication for my cat?
While Ease doesn’t prescribe medication, we collaborate closely with your veterinarian. Our specialists, with unmatched expertise from assisting thousands of pets on similar medication journeys, encourage your veterinarian to consult directly with them for guidance on the best options for your cat.
Why doesn’t Ease prescribe medication for my cat?
Ease prioritizes your cat’s wellbeing through collaboration with your regular veterinarian, ensuring thorough care with physical examinations and necessary tests. Unlike some virtual companies, our approach is collaborative and holistic, acknowledging that medication alone doesn’t solve behavior problems. Additionally, we adhere to prevailing laws that often prohibit direct prescription practices.
What is the process for getting behavior medication for my cat?
The process involves a thorough assessment by your veterinarian, including a physical examination and discussion of your cat’s behavior. Diagnostic tests may be recommended, and if necessary, a tailored medication plan is created. Ease partners directly with your veterinarian to find the right solutions.
What if I have a question about my cat’s medication?
What should I do if I notice adverse effects or changes in my cat’s behavior on medication?
Contact the prescribing veterinarian promptly. They can assess the situation, adjust the medication if necessary, or explore alternative options.
