Notes:

Imagine today's date is February 20, 2024. You are a veterinarian at "Paws & Tails Veterinary Clinic." You need to write a letter to another veterinarian at "City Pet Care Hospital."

Patient Details:

• Patient's Name: Rocky

• DOB: June 5, 2017

• Owner: Amanda Turner

• Referring Concern: Sudden weight loss and decreased appetite

Detailed Patient Description: Rocky, a 6-year-old Beagle, has been under our care for years, presenting as a healthy and active dog. However, Amanda Turner, his owner, recently noticed a sudden weight loss and a significant decrease in appetite in Rocky. His medical history includes regular check-ups, vaccinations, and a history of minor skin allergies that have been successfully managed with dietary adjustments and antihistamines.

The weight loss in Rocky has been progressive over the last three months, and he has lost approximately 15% of his body weight. Despite a thorough examination and various diagnostic tests, we have not identified any apparent medical issues that could explain his condition. Routine blood work shows no abnormalities. Amanda has been diligent in administering medications and maintaining a balanced diet, but Rocky's condition persists.

Amanda is concerned that there might be an underlying health issue that we haven't yet uncovered, and she would like to seek a second opinion at City Pet Care Hospital for further evaluation and testing.
