Strange, I’m sure that if you’d got your pet to be examined at the vet in real life, the symptoms would match up with the type of examination performed.
Not that I know how vets work, but this would be common sense.
@raysims3 I'm not saying it makes sense, just saying that it's probably not a bug in the sense that this is likely by design. Although, someone from the sims team would have to confirm that. Whatever the case may be, it is a game after all. I'm sure that the vet in real life would also not give a diagnosis of Woozykittyitis. Again, I think it's likely that the intent was to prevent a player from having to perform all eight exams to determine each specific symptom, mainly because of how long it takes. In real life, time works very differently. If each pet had to go through every exam, your sims would probably only have time to see maybe two or three patients per day.
Edit: I did another test just to see how long it takes to examine one pet. It took my sim almost one sim hour just to calm the pet and run three exams to get a diagnosis. If my sim had to run all eight exams to find the exact symptoms that matched each one, it might take close to three sim hours to finish examining one pet. Personally, I think I'd prefer to not have to do that.
You do make a rather valid point.
