Normal Patients vs Animal Hospital Anomalies
A cross-patient decision sheet: learn the normal baseline first, then use the detection layer that can actually expose its look-alikes.
This comparison is built from the ten normal patient baselines and the eighteen confirmed anomaly records already maintained in the wiki. It answers a different question from the patient roster or anomaly index: when two possibilities look similar, which detail should you compare, where should you look, and what action follows? For full per-patient notes, open the patient roster; for the complete anomaly taxonomy, use the anomaly list.
Ten patient baselines and their look-alikes
| Normal patient | Normal traits to compare | Easy-to-confuse anomalies | Highest-value detection layer | Treatment or rejection action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blue Rabbit | Body colour: Light blue across the whole body, with no patchy or shifting shade | Eye size and pairing: Both eyes large, sad, and the same size as each other | Ear shape and count: Two ears, matched length, upright | Crooked Face, Mismatching Ears, Incorrect Photo, Unnatural Body, Twitching | Window / visual, CCTV, Clipboard photo | The shift prompt names the symptom and the matching tool — Herbs for a stomach ache, Bandages for bleeding, Medkit for bruises. Follow the prompt rather than the crutch, which tells you the patient is injured but not with what. |
| Pink Rabbit | Body colour: Soft pink, even across the body, clearly lighter than the orange and yellow patients | Ear silhouette: Rounded ears, shorter and softer in outline than Blue Rabbit's | Expression: Calm, relaxed, with an expression that does not change while you watch | Incorrect Photo, Mismatching Ears, Staring, X-rayed Face, Smiling with Creepy Eyes | Clipboard photo, CCTV, Window / visual | Apply the tool the prompt names — Herbs, Eye Drops, IV Drops, Medkit, Thermo, Ointment, Bandages, Medicine, Maple Syrup, or Cough Syrup. The patient's colour never determines the treatment. |
| Green Cat | Body colour: Green across every visible patch of fur | Bandage placement: Wrapping on the head and limbs in the documented pattern | The parts the wrapping leaves visible: Eyes, muzzle, and ears still readable through and around the wrapping | Mismatching Face, Black Eyes, Void / Black (CCTV), Incorrect Photo, Unnatural Body | CCTV, Clipboard photo | Read the on-screen symptom rather than assuming from the bandages. Bandaging points to an injury, not to a specific tool; the prompt is what selects Herbs, Bandages, Medkit, or another item. |
| Yellow Rabbit | Mouth and teeth: An ordinary closed mouth with no visible teeth | Body colour: Bright, saturated yellow-orange | Expression stability: One steady expression that does not morph while you watch | Crooked Face, Smiling with Creepy Eyes, X-rayed Face, Incorrect Photo, Mismatching Ears | Window / visual, Clipboard photo, CCTV | If the rabbit shows no anomaly traits across the window, photo, and camera layers, treat it as a normal patient using the named symptom prompt. |
| Gray Cat | Grey value against the room: Mid-tone grey, distinctly lighter than a black shape and darker than White Cat | Body proportions: Standard cat proportions, no elongated limbs or extra appendages | Eyes: Two matched eyes with normal pupils, not blacked out | Void / Black (CCTV), Black Eyes, Mismatching Face, Unnatural Body, Camera Twitching | CCTV | Nothing about this patient changes the treatment flow. Apply the tool named by the shift prompt. |
| White Cat | Body colour: Pure white, with no grey patches or dark markings | Eyes: Bright, matched, with visible pupils and no blacking | Posture: Seated upright, with an even, still outline | Black Eyes, Void / Black (CCTV), Mimic, Three Eyes, Hollow Face | CCTV, CCTV and threat route, Window / visual | Use the clean seated silhouette to judge limb count and body proportions before admitting the patient. |
| Brown Dog | Species: A dog, not a rabbit, cat, frog, or penguin | Ear shape, length, and symmetry: Both ears floppy, the same length, hanging at the same angle | Fur colour: Brown across the body, with no grey or pale patches | Mismatching Ears, Incorrect Photo, Unnatural Body, Mismatching Face, Twitching | CCTV, Clipboard photo, Window / visual | If a paw is bandaged, still read the on-screen symptom prompt. The bandage shows injury location, not the tool the shift is asking for. |
| Penguin | Silhouette: Upright penguin body with flippers and no visible limbs in the cat or dog sense | Flipper count: Two flippers, matched in length | Black and white distribution: The documented black-and-white pattern in the correct arrangement | Incorrect Photo, Static Photo, Unnatural Body, Void / Black (CCTV), Tiny Anomaly | Clipboard photo, CCTV, Window / visual | The distinctive model does not change the treatment flow. Apply the tool the prompt names in the Medical Wing. |
| Frog | Eye count: Two eyes | Body proportions: The documented frog proportions, with the body sitting low | Body colour: Green, matching the cat and frog baselines' shared colour family | Three Eyes, Mismatching Face, Unnatural Body, Tiny Anomaly, Camera Twitching | Window / visual, CCTV | Follow the on-screen symptom prompt exactly as you would for any other patient. |
| Orange Cat | Stripe pattern: The tabby stripe arrangement shown in the roster photo | Stripe pattern in the photo, not just the fur: Photo stripes and live stripes agree in direction and position | Body colour: Warm orange tabby, clearly separate from the yellow rabbit | Incorrect Photo, Mismatching Face, X-rayed Face, Static Photo, Twitching | Clipboard photo, CCTV, Window / visual | Standard flow. Apply the tool the shift prompt names in the Medical Wing. |
The look-alike names are repeated as linked detail cards below. The “highest-value” layer is derived from the category of the documented look-alikes; it never replaces the other available checks.
All 18 confirmed anomaly records
Crooked Face
Crooked smile, sharp teeth, large mismatched eyes, or eyes positioned unusually high on the face.

Open detail guideMismatching Ears
Different ear or horn shape, length, color, or count when comparing the window with the camera feed.
Open detail guideA repeatable decision order
- Identify the baseline. Confirm species, colour, silhouette, and the patient-specific feature listed in the table.
- Compare the likely failure layer. Use the photo for model changes, CCTV for camera-only forms, and the window for persistent visual tells.
- Resolve uncertainty before treatment. Reposition a camera or wait for movement when the view is incomplete; do not convert a missing signal into a pass.
- Take the documented action. Treat only after the available checks agree. Reject an anomaly before treatment and follow its detail page for event-specific handling.
The normal records also document patient-specific traps: large eyes are normal on some rabbits and Frog, bandages are normal on Green Cat, and a distinctive silhouette does not make a patient immune to a changed photo or CCTV form. Those comparisons are why this page exists alongside the individual records rather than repeating them.
Frequently asked questions
What is the fastest way to compare a normal patient with an anomaly?
Start with the patient's documented baseline, then check the layer named by the look-alike: the window for visual changes, the clipboard for photo changes, or CCTV for camera-only changes. A clean first view does not clear the other layers.
Do all normal patients have the same anomaly checks?
The four-layer routine is shared, but the useful comparison changes by patient. Orange Cat needs a stripe comparison, Frog needs eye count and proportions, and Green Cat needs careful photo and camera checks because the bandages hide detail.
Should I treat a patient after one normal-looking check?
No. Complete the available window, photo, CCTV, and document or Scanner checks. If a layer fails, reject before treatment and open the linked anomaly guide for the specific tell.
Are the anomalies on this page official game data?
The table uses the repository's 10 confirmed normal patient records and 18 confirmed anomaly records. The anomaly cards below link to the underlying detail pages, where the evidence status and maintenance notes are kept.
