- Veterinary is used to heal your wounded pets. You may wish not to use this skill, and opt for the magery spell greater heal (In Vas Mani) instead for a few reasons. Veterinary has the advantage in that it doesn't require regs, mana, or magery skill to use (only bandages), however, in T2A the healing amount is not much more than a greater heal spell-even with GM Veterinary and GM Animal Lore, combined. Plus, greater heal is instant and can be used from a distance, healing your pet requires it to stay still while you heal it and has a chance of failure.
Pets Slots In T2A
In the T2A era there was no limit to the amount of pets that a single player could control, meaning that pet slots did not exist. Having unlimited pets is by some considered to be an advantage as it gives them the ability to do far more damage using their pets.
Some players find it is very dangerous to use multiple high level mage casting pets such as White Wyrms, because they cast spells like mass curse which will target all the other monsters, tamed creatures, and players around them, causing them to fight amongst each other; if this is not watched, players' dragons can kill each other & turn on the player him/her self.

Q&A
Q: I tamed an animal, now it's text is purple, but it is still attacking me! A: This happens with some creatures, such as dragons. What you will need to do is use the invisibility spell, invis magical item, or simply run away for a minute until the creature "calms down." (wait about a full minute) Then it will no longer attack you
Q:The animal won't do what I say, it only winces and doesn't obey/comply. A:If you use the animal lore skill you will see a message saying "Wild" but don't worry, it will also tell you, if successful, what food the animal eats. After feeding it, it will obey again.
Q: I got the message from the animal "(animal name) seems to have decided (animal name) is better off without a master!" A: Your only option in this case is to retame the animal.
Q: I have lots of animals with me, is there a better way to keep track of them? A: Yes, if you press Ctrl and Shift at the same time you will see the name bars of each, click and drag these in order to get bigger bars which stick, though you are limited in these.
Q: But, I can't pull up those bars because there are lots of other objects/things around, what do I do? A: While pressing Ctrl Shift, right click each name bar of other things to have it disappear temporarily. This will also work if your tames are bunched together and you need to separate each of them by name.
