Prescriptions connect one pet to one medication and drive active-medication reminders and dose history.
Prescription Workbench
Open More > Medical > Prescriptions. Use the All, Active, Completed, and Stopped views. Search by medication, pet, prescriber, or prescription number.
The table includes:
- Prescription identity or prescription number.
- Pet.
- Status.
- Dosage and frequency.
- Start and end dates.
- Refills remaining.
- Prescribing veterinarian.
The Refills cell is highlighted only for an active prescription with no end date and no refills left; a prescription with an end date simply finishes on that date.
Sort by updated date, start date, ending date, fewest refills, or status. Selected rows can be marked Completed or Discontinued in bulk. Like the row action, which discontinues one active prescription, the bulk actions change only the active prescriptions in the selection: completed and discontinued ones are left as they are, and the actions are unavailable when none of the selected rows is active.
Add or Edit a Prescription
The form includes:
- Pet and Medication (required).
- Prescribing veterinarian and status.
- Dosage.
- Frequency quantity and unit.
- Route and amount dispensed.
- Refills remaining.
- Prescription number.
- Start date and optional end date.
- Notes.
Choosing a medication can fill its saved dosage, frequency, and route defaults and displays its warnings. The end date cannot be before the start date.
Scheduling and Dose Times
Prescription scheduling uses a start date plus an every N minutes, hours, days, or weeks cadence. Add Administration times to choose specific clock times, and select a Responsible person for the prescription. When times are supplied, only those times are scheduled; check the warning if their count differs from the frequency.
Generated dose slots are anchored at 8:00 AM in the organization's time zone on the start date. For example, every 12 hours produces 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM slots; every 8 hours continues at eight-hour intervals. Calendar's table and calendar views, the pet's daily care, and Dose History show the generated slot times.
To change the schedule, edit the start date or cadence. Put special timing instructions such as “with evening meal” in the prescription notes, but remember that notes do not change the generated slot time.
Prescription Profile
Select a prescription to see:
- Related pet, medication, veterinarian, and clinic links.
- Active, Completed, or Stopped status.
- Dates, refills, prescription number, notes, and activity.
- Dosage, frequency, route, and amount.
- Medication details and warnings.
- Dose history when the active prescription has a start date and supported frequency.
Click the status badge to change status. Edit or delete from the profile actions.
Dose History
Dose History summarizes compliance over the recent two-week period and displays the current week's scheduled dose slots. For today or a past date, click a slot to mark the dose given or remove its completion. Future slots cannot be changed.
Missed, Skipped, or Refused Doses
There is no missed, skipped, or refused dose status. A slot is either marked given or left unmarked. To record a missed dose, leave its slot unmarked: it counts as not given and lowers the Compliance Rate, which compares doses given with doses expected. If you marked a slot by mistake, click it again to remove the completion.
To explain why a dose was missed or refused, add a note on the pet's Notes tab or in the prescription's notes. Notes do not change the slot or the Compliance Rate.
Recent completed doses appear below the weekly grid. The same active prescription can also contribute to daily care on the pet profile, Dashboard, and Calendar.
Pet Medical Timeline
The pet's Medical > Rx section and combined All timeline show its prescriptions with dates, dosing, prescriber, refills, prescription number, and status controls.
Use Completed when the full course finished and Stopped when it ended early. Completing or stopping a prescription that is still running sets its end date to today; one whose end date has already passed keeps that date. Reactivating a completed or stopped prescription clears its end date. Keeping status, end dates, and refills current makes Medical Hub attention counts and daily care accurate.
Medication rounds
Open Medical and choose Medication rounds. Select the day and filter by dose time or responsible person. Each row shows the pet, medication, dose, route, and scheduled time in the organization’s timezone. Mark a dose complete after giving it. Unmark Complete removes an incorrectly recorded completion. Upcoming doses cannot be marked complete before they are due.
