Self diagnosis, animal

Answer 3 questions and find out how quickly your animal needs a vet, and what to have ready for the call.

This does not diagnose anything and it never will. A wrong guess about a crop costs a spray. A wrong guess about an animal kills it, and several of these pass through a herd or to people. So every answer here ends at a vet, and the only thing that changes is how fast.

Which animal?

What is the main thing you are seeing?

Pick the one that worries you most. You can run this again for the others.

How many animals are affected?

This changes the answer more than anything else does.

Answer every question above and what fits appears here.

Find a vet

The vet directory lists veterinary doctors whose qualifications have been checked. Your block veterinary dispensary and your state animal husbandry helpline are usually faster still.

For routine care and the diseases worth knowing before anything goes wrong, read livestock health.
