Photo anomalies are easy to miss because the patient can look normal before the camera is used. Take the photo, leave enough time to compare details, and do not admit the patient until the image matches the window view.
From Shift 4 onward, make photo comparison part of the normal check-in rhythm. A mismatch in ears, eyes, horns, face style, or image quality is enough to stop the admission.
Skipping this check because the patient looks normal on another layer. Some Animal Hospital anomalies only reveal themselves through one specific view.
Waiting too long after the sign appears. Once a required check fails, close the shutters instead of trying to rescue the admission.
Name the layer first: window, photo, or camera. Then name the exact sign you saw. This keeps a team from arguing about whether the patient feels strange and turns the callout into a clear decision.
