**Track:** 🐾 Veterinary Medicine · **Domain:** Clinical Workflow · **Level:** foundation · **~20 min**

**Who this is for:** Veterinarians, Vet Techs, Practice Managers, Animal Welfare Teams

## When to Use This Skill

Fast structured triage categories keeping emergencies ahead of the queue without chaos.
Use it whenever a matching task appears in conversation — the agent loads these instructions on demand.

## Steps

1. Category 1 immediate: airway/breathing/circulation collapse, toxin ingestion, seizure
2. Category 2 urgent: stable vitals but risk of deterioration within hours
3. Category 3 routine can safely wait; communicate wait honestly with recheck plan
4. Recheck waiting patients at defined intervals; deterioration upgrades category
5. One team member owns the waiting room narrative during surges
6. Log triage category vs outcome quarterly to validate thresholds

## Common Pitfalls

- Owner volume overriding clinical urgency
- Category-2 patients forgotten in waiting rooms
