五、预防胜于治疗：日常健康英语小贴士

小贴士：
准备好病史： 提前用英语整理好猫咪的疫苗记录、驱虫记录、既往病史、过敏史和正在服用的药物。
拍照或录视频： 如果猫咪的症状是间歇性的或难以描述，用手机拍下它们发病的视频或照片会非常有帮助。
不要害怕提问： 即使你觉得你的英语不够好，也要努力表达。兽医的职责是帮助你的宠物，他们会尽力理解你。
带上翻译APP： 如果实在沟通困难，可以尝试使用翻译APP辅助。
了解紧急电话： 记下附近的24小时急诊兽医电话和地址。

猫咪生病，是每个主人都不愿面对的挑战。但掌握好必要的英语沟通技巧，能让你在关键时刻为你的爱猫争取到最及时、最有效的帮助。希望这篇“猫咪生病英语应急手册”能给你带来一些信心和力量。记住，你不是一个人在战斗，我们所有爱猫人都与你同在。祝愿所有毛孩子都能健康快乐！
