COMMENTS:

The decision of species shown above is binary - dog or cat. If there were more choices, then more decision blocks would have to be added as a decision can only be one of two choices in a flow chart (yes-no and in this case dog-cat).

The flow chart item 'No Treatment required' in the middle part of the END statement is not really needed - you do not normally include an action that you do not do. But in this case we chose to include it because it helps explain why nothing was done by the vet. However, if this flow chart had to be converted into an actual software program, this part has no code.

The strict flow chart would just show each 'Yes' going down to the END statement.
