Without a doubt, YES, ABSOLUTELY! These could be something minor but
which needs treatment to clear up, or they could be something more
serious. Either way, it will take a vet to find out. This list, as

I take mine in whenever I have concerns. It's worth the relatively
small expense for piece of mind.

All the best,
