You can ask a friend if that have a veterinarian they use. If you have a pure breed or an unusual pet, get a book about this animal, because it will give you a wealth of information.

Keep a journal. It is important to have a record of all your pet's visits to the veterinarian. Just like you, when you have good information to tell the doctor, they is better equipped to help your pet. When they are ill, keeping a record of how they are eating, drinking, sleeping and when they go to the bathroom is important. Knowing some of these changes can help with diagnosis.
