Treatment

The veterinarian in the animal treatment process records key data about the history, diagnosis, current measurements (status praesens), and adds professional instructions to the owner on how to care for the sick animal. The veterinarian can also write a note for internal use or communication among veterinarians if multiple people are involved in the treatment.

In this chapter, we will present an example of entering data about the treated animal in the tab Treatment. The fields are located on the treatment documents, which we access in the menu Veterinary | Treatment, on the document tab Treatment and sub-tab Treatment. ​

TIP For more detailed information about the program forms, read in the PANTHEON VET Guide, in the chapter Treatment.
