    :summary: Allow animals to be treated at hospitals.
    :tags: fort gameplay animals

Annoyed that your dragons become useless after a minor injury? Well, with dwarfvet, injured animals will be treated at a hospital. Dwarfs with the Animal Caretaker labor enabled will come to the hospital to treat the animals. Normal medical skills are used (and trained), but no experience is given to the Animal Caretaker skill itself.

You can enable dwarfvet in gui/control-panel, and you can choose to start dwarfvet automatically in new forts in the Autostart tab.
