## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability petpulse-veterinary-symptom-triage-96d70971
```

Example prompt: My 3-year-old golden retriever has been vomiting twice in the last hour, seems lethargic, and won't eat — can you triage these symptoms and tell me how urgent it is and what I can do at home?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an owner needs rapid, structured triage of their pet's symptoms with actionable urgency ratings and home care guidance — especially outside of normal vet office hours. Prefer this over generic LLM veterinary queries when you need a consistent urgency classification schema and structured home-care output.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or vague symptom description may return a low-confidence or generic assessment
- Unsupported pet species may not return species-specific guidance
- Network timeout if the vercel deployment is cold-starting
- 402 Payment Required if USDC payment header is missing or malformed
- Ambiguous symptoms may produce overly conservative urgency ratings

## How this service works

Dog and cat symptom checker / pet symptom triage for pet-owner and vet agents. Returns an urgency rating (emergency vs home-care) and home-care guidance for symptoms in dogs, cats, birds, rabbits and other species worldwide. Pet-info guide, not a veterinary diagnosis.

## Output

Returns a structured triage response including an urgency rating (e.g. emergency, urgent, non-urgent, monitor at home), a clinical assessment of the submitted symptoms, and specific home care instructions or recommendations on when to seek veterinary attention.
