It's a little strange that a common clapback to a vet telling an owner that their pet is sick and needs diagnostics and treatment is "but he's still eating" (especially when it comes to dental disease).

He's probably still eating because if not he'll die!

Nicole and Jez discuss some markers of quality of life and discomfort that could use a bit more thought. If you'd like to support the podcast please head to www.patreon.com/tinyvetpod or just rate, subscribe and tell a friend.
