How to start a treatment for an animal

AppWebWorks offline

The treatment creates the animal's dose schedule: whoever gives the doses sees each one at the right time, and inventory is deducted with each dose.

Before you start​

  • Starting a treatment is for those who can prescribe (veterinarian and administrator, by default).
  • Medications must be registered in Inventory on the property.
  • In the app, it works offline. The treatment uploads on the next sync.

There are three ways to start a treatment:

WhereWhen to use it
