Lisa
Um, hello, Dr Martin. Thank you for seeing me today. My cat, Bella, has
Lisa
been sneezing a lot lately.
Dr Martin
Hi, Lisa. No problem at all. Let me take a look at Bella. How long has she been
Dr Martin
sneezing?
Lisa
Well, I noticed it started two days ago. She also seems a little tired.
Dr Martin
I see. Let me check her temperature...
Dr Martin
Hmm... it’s a bit high, and she might have a small infection.
Lisa
Oh, I understand. Is it serious?
Dr Martin
No, it’s not serious. We’ll give her some medicine to help with the

That sounds good, thank you. I just want Bella to feel better.
Dr Martin
Don’t worry. She’ll be fine. Make sure she drinks water and rests.

You’re welcome! Take care, and come back if she keeps sneezing.
