There is a solution to this problem however. And this is where technology enters the picture. Recently AVMI improved upon its original design by incorporating personal web cams (cleverly called iCat web cams) for each and every feline patient hospitalized for radioiodine therapy. “Not only do the iCat web cams allow each client to personally keep tabs on their own pet while it is hospitalized, but they also allow us to monitor each patient continuously throughout it's stay.” says Broome. AVMI clients can be provided with their own personal web link that allows them to view a password protected web cam that is actually mounted inside their cat's cottage. While the client is able to view a continuous live web based motion picture of their own individual cat, our staff technicians and doctors have 24 x 7 access to a web interface that allows individual or simultaneous viewing of every cat hospitalized for radioiodine therapy. This solution provides clients with a real sense of confidence in how their cat is doing during its hospitalization. Indeed, the interface is so flexible that many clients have actually kept tabs on their cats by viewing their personal iCat web cams from their iPhones even while at work. How these client's employers feel about that remains to be seen.
