Add animal care docs for alpacas, horses, and poultry

New animals/ section with mobile-first emergency page (vet contacts,
symptom-to-action table, first aid steps), per-animal daily care for
alpacas (Onu/Sapphi/Phil), horses, and chickens/ducks. Capture hay
quality rules, alpaca cleaning schedule (11 AM, 8 PM), enterotoxemia
schedule, shearer contact, and Sapphi's wound protocol from group
discussions. Add natural/preventative care guide reflecting our
natural-first philosophy with clear escalation criteria. Document
the VetSet first aid kit, chore schedule, and the team-delegated
process for taking on animal-care roles.

+# Animal Emergency
+
+> [!important] On duty?
+> If you're holding an animal-care shift, you're the calm responder when something needs attention. See [[index#animal-care-roles|Animal Care Roles]] for how shifts are delegated.
+
+> [!tip] Our care philosophy
+> We tend toward **natural care first** — herbs, minerals, clean environment, and prevention. Antibiotics, pharmaceutical dewormers, and vaccinations are used only when **absolutely necessary** (e.g. genuine emergency, no natural option working). See [[natural-care|Natural & Preventative Care]] for daily/weekly practices. **In a true emergency this still means: call the vet.** Don't delay over philosophy.
+
+> [!danger] Call a vet immediately for any of these
+> - Severe bleeding that won't stop
+> - Difficulty breathing / open-mouth breathing
+> - Suspected fracture, severe lameness, can't stand
+> - Severe colic (rolling, thrashing, kicking belly)
+> - Animal isolated from herd + unresponsive
+> - Choke (food/object stuck, drooling, distress)
+> - Predator attack — even if no visible injury (shock kills)
+

+Have ready:
+- **Which animal** (Onu, Sapphi, etc. — see [[alpacas|alpaca page]])

+- **The chateau address:** Rue Grand Rue de Bellissen, Bénac, 09000 Foix
+
+## Quick Symptom Reference
+
+> [!warning] Camelids (alpacas) hide illness
+> Alpacas are prey animals — they mask symptoms until very serious. **If something seems off, act on it.**

+
+## First Aid Before the Vet Arrives
+
+### General
+
+1. **Stay calm.** Approach slowly so you don't add stress.
+2. **Move others away** if possible — calm herd, secure the patient.
+3. **Bleeding** — apply firm direct pressure with a clean cloth.
+4. **Don't give medication** unless the vet has told you to.
+5. **Note the time** symptoms started.
+
+### Colic (alpaca/horse)
+
+- **Remove all food.**
+- **Water is OK** unless the vet says otherwise.
+- **Short, calm walking** can help with mild gas pain — stop if pain worsens.
+- **Do not give Banamine, sedatives, or any drug** without vet approval (masks symptoms).
+
+### Wounds
+
+1. Stop bleeding with direct pressure.
+2. Once bleeding controlled, rinse with clean water or saline.
+3. Apply antiseptic from the [[first-aid-kit|first aid kit]].
+4. Cover lightly with non-stick dressing.
+5. Keep flies off — wound spray or covering.
+
+### Predator attack
+
+- Even if no visible injury, animal can die of shock — **call vet**.
+- Keep animal warm and quiet, away from predator/threat.
+- Do not chase off other herd members — they reduce stress.
+
+### Choke (food/object stuck)
+
+- Remove all food and water.
+- Keep the head low if possible (helps drainage).
+- Don't try to push obstruction down — call vet.
+
+### Heat / cold stress
+
+- **Heat:** shade, water, hose down legs/belly (not back).
+- **Cold:** dry shelter, blankets if soaked, hot water bottles for poultry chicks.
+
+## First Aid Kit
+
+The **VetSet Complete Equine First Aid Kit** is in: *TBD — set location*.
+
+Latex-free gloves are stocked. See [[first-aid-kit|Animal First Aid Kit]] for full contents.
+
+## After Hours
+
+- If your vet doesn't answer, **try the next number on the list**.
+- For horses specifically, the **Cleveland-style rule** applies: when in doubt, call. Waiting too long with colic is fatal.
+- Document everything — photos and timestamps help the vet enormously.
