ZOO VET: ENDANGERED ANIMALS
Welcome to technical support for Zoo Vet. Please take the time to read the answers to the frequently asked questions below. These answers may help resolve any issues you may have.
Gameplay
There are a total of 30 cases to examine, diagnose and treat. You must complete all the cases in order to win the game. Follow these guidelines to ensure successful treatment of all the animals.
Difficulty Mode
If you choose a mode that is too difficult for you, go to the Options Menu and choose an easier mode. In Easy mode, the next correct tool that you should use is highlighted with a yellow glow. While treating patients, you also get an explanation of the results of each tool you use, along with a hint about what to do next.
Score
The amount of points you can earn on each case depends on the level of difficulty selected. In Easy mode each case is worth a maximum of 1000 points, in Normal each case is worth 1500 points, and in Hard each case is worth 2000 points.
Tutorial
Be sure to review the tutorial to learn the basics of how to play the game. The tutorial is always available on the map in your office, and can be replayed as often as you want. To start the Tutorial, click the T icon on the lower left hand corner of the map. To exit the tutorial early and return to the map, click on the Main Menu button.
Hints
If you get stuck while treating an animal, click the Hints button on the PDA. You will be given information that will help you determine what to do next.
Computer
The computer located in your office provides valuable information about the animals and has a medical glossary if you are unfamiliar with some of the technical terms.
Tools
Be very careful with your tools, especially the potentially dangerous ones such as the scalpel and the suture. Abusing these sharp instruments will get you kicked out the case, and the head vet will be forced to finish the case for you.
Treat Again
Maybe the first time you treated an animal you didn't do as well as you would have liked. After you complete all the cases, you will have the opportunity to treat all the animals again. Go back to the cases in which you want to better your score, or if you just want to treat your favorite animals again.
