Most of Favuna is meant to be obvious the moment you open it — that's on purpose. This page is here for anyone who wants to see the whole picture at once, or see how the pieces connect before jumping in. It's not required reading.
Here's a real, complete example: setting up a cat named Nala, from the first sign-in through sharing a finished health record with her vet.
Set up your pet
The first thing Favuna asks for is your pet's name and whether they're a cat or dog — that's it to get started. You can add breed, birthdate, sex, and known allergies later from their profile; none of it is required, but the vet-ready reports use whatever you've filled in.
Something seems off — start with the checklist
Nala's been scratching her ear more than usual. Instead of guessing, open Things to Check First — a calm, guided list built from real veterinary sourcing, not a diagnosis. Nala's owner checks a few things, uses the built-in breathing rate counter just to be safe, and everything comes back normal — but the ear scratching is worth tracking.
Start a Health Episode
Tapping an item on the checklist offers to save a note — and since this is a new concern, it starts a fresh Health Episode called "Ear Scratching." Everything about this specific issue — symptoms, photos, medication, the eventual vet visit — will live together in one place from here on, instead of scattered across separate notes.
Log updates as things happen
Over the next few days, Nala's owner adds quick updates: a photo of the ear, a note that she's shaking her head more, then — after a vet visit — the diagnosis and a new medication. Each update takes seconds, and they all build into one clear timeline.
Set a reminder for the medication
The vet prescribed ear drops twice a day for 10 days. A reminder gets set for the medication, repeating daily, with an end date so it stops asking automatically once the course is done — no need to remember to turn it off.
Save the vet for next time
Nala's vet gets saved with their phone number and address — one tap to call, one tap for directions, next time there's no need to dig through contacts during a stressful moment.
Share a clean report
At the follow-up appointment, "Share Health Record" turns the whole episode — timeline, photos, medication, vet visit notes — into one clean, organized document. It can be shown right on the phone, printed, or emailed directly to the vet. No retelling the whole story from memory.
Since Nala's breathing was checked more than once during this episode, the report also includes a trend chart — a soft shaded "normal range" band with each reading plotted and colored (green, amber, or red) so a vet can see at a glance not just whether something was abnormal, but how abnormal, and when.
Mark it resolved
Once Nala's ear clears up, the episode gets marked resolved — it stays in her history (useful if something similar happens again later), just moved out of the active list.
That's genuinely most of it
Multiple pets work the same way, just switch between them from Home. Everything above works for dogs too, with its own checklist content. If something's still unclear, we're happy to help directly.
