veterinary triage

Veterinary triage is the process of prioritizing animals' medical needs based on the severity of their condition. When pets arrive at a veterinary clinic, the staff quickly assess each animal’s symptoms to determine how urgent their care is. This ensures that critically ill or injured animals receive immediate attention, while less urgent cases are scheduled appropriately. Triage helps optimize emergency and routine care, ensuring that all animals get the appropriate treatment in a timely manner. It's a vital step in managing resources and providing effective healthcare during busy or emergency situations.
