AskurVet · Advice and treatment
Advice for anyone. Treatment from your vet.
For pet owners wondering what an online vet can and cannot do.
General advice
Education and guidance, such as is this normal, what should I watch for, or does this need a visit, is open to any owner with any participating veterinarian.
Telemedicine
Diagnosis, treatment plans and prescriptions come only from a veterinarian who has a veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR) with your animal. Veterinary medicine has that rule for good reason, and AskurVet follows it.
Starting a relationship by video
Some states allow a video exam to start a veterinarian-client-patient relationship. AskurVet offers it only where it holds the state’s rule and its source, and no state’s rule is loaded yet.
Questions
Can an online vet prescribe for my pet?
Only a veterinarian who has a veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR) with your animal.
Can I get advice without an existing vet relationship?
Yes. General advice is open to any owner, with any participating veterinarian.
