The intake problem in veterinary

  • Pet owners describe symptoms emotionally and vaguely ('my dog is acting weird') with no clinical detail
  • Breed, age, weight, and medication history are critical for triage but rarely volunteered upfront
  • Emergency calls get mixed with routine appointment requests in the same inbox
  • Vet techs spend the first 5 minutes of every call collecting details that could be captured before

Please help, our golden retriever Bailey has been vomiting since last night -- at least 5 or 6 times. She's 7 years old, about 68 lbs. She got into the kitchen trash yesterday evening and we think she ate some chicken bones and possibly chocolate cake. She's lethargic now and won't drink water. She's up to date on shots, last visit was October for her annual. She's on Apoquel 16mg daily for allergies. No other health issues. We're the Morrison family, we've been coming to your practice since Bailey was a puppy. Kevin Morrison, 508-555-0394, kevinm@gmail.com. Can we get an emergency appointment today?
