Emergencies: what Petus does

In a real emergency, Petus's job is speed and clarity.

What happens

A plain verdict, first. If what you describe or photograph signals an emergency, the answer opens with "see a vet now" — clearly, before anything else.
Where to go. Nearby clinics with contact details, straight away.
What to tell them. Petus pulls together what the clinic will ask: species, weight, what happened and when, current medications. Ready to read out on the phone.
No talking down. Uncertainty raises urgency; it never lowers it. A blurry photo or a half-described symptom errs toward "go".

When you're back, tell Petus what happened. The event files into the record, and Petus checks in on the recovery over the days that follow.

If you already know it's an emergency, don't stop to type. Go — and let Petus help from the waiting room.
