My point of view on "magicians" in Atys is that homins all have a natural ability to heal and to harm that can be trained just as strength of arm can be trained. When you (your character) first talk to the Zorai Mage teacher he points out that all homins possess the ability to defend themselves from attack using Acid - it makes sense that the healing arts would be as natural as the harming arts.
However, I also see your idea as a good one. We do have healing potions and the like, but they can only be self-applied so when one is in a coma they are worthless. If we allowed the application of the same potions/consumables from the outside (with the same delay time for action so as not to unbalance things) that would allow someone to heal even if they were a spell-user and out of sap. It wouldn't be fast, but it would be better than nothing.
I doubt, however, that we will ever discover player-usable potions to heal animals, not because it is impossible according to Lore, but simply because coding it and balancing it would be near-impossible.
