The Order of Veterinary Doctors (OMV - Ordem dos Médicos Veterinários) anticipate therian patients

[veshume]

More moral panic is being spread amongst institutions in Portugal. Rumours say that a therian creature has attempted consulting a veterinarian for treatment. Verónica Veglia, the president of the College of Veterinarians of San Luis claims that that two adults (ages between 30 and 40 years old), one in the role of the "master", have entered a veterynary clinic in San Luis for a consultation due to flu-like symptoms. The Portugal News states that "Portugal currently has no official records of veterinarians facing such consultation requests" (though there are sources that claim that the event has been recorded by visitors. I have not found such proof, however I do not speak Portuguese, so there are certain limitations to what I information I can access). Despite this, the OMV is said to have issued internal guidelines on how to approach such patients. Veglia said that "Obviously, we are already getting advice from the body of lawyers we have and precisely with the local College of Psychologists" (translated with Google Translate), as they are of the opinion that this situation requires attention in terms of mental health.
