Searches like “vet LINE intake script,” “pet clinic Instagram DM triage,” and “dog vomiting chat clinic booking” need packs with red-flag redirects — not tele-diagnosis.
Triage discipline parallels: pediatric after-hours chat triage scripts. Media rules: clinic voice notes media intake chat.
Intake Pack
What reception may ask before an exam
- Species, age band, weight estimate if known
- Primary concern and onset timing (logistics, not diagnosis)
- Approved photo/video request for consult prep only
- Red-flag redirect language (ER / urgent slot)
- Stop-rules: no medication dosing, no “it looks like X,” no home protocols
Handoff
