Symptom triage is not a diagnosis
pawfolio's symptom-triage chat helps you decide how urgently to seek veterinary care. It never diagnoses a condition, never suggests a medication dose (human or veterinary), and never tells you to "wait and see" for a symptom that could be serious.
A small set of red-flag symptoms (possible poisoning, choking/obstruction, bloat, trauma, and other emergency patterns) are detected by deterministic code — not the AI model — before any AI call happens, and always escalate to the emergency level.
If your pet may have eaten something dangerous
Call ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 (A consultation fee may apply. Available 24/7.) right away, or go to your nearest emergency vet. Do not wait for an app to confirm what to do.
When to always call your vet instead
If your pet is showing any emergency-level sign — collapse, seizure, severe bleeding, difficulty breathing, suspected poisoning, or a bloated/distended abdomen — go to your nearest emergency vet immediately rather than using this app.
