Configure a species record to automatically calculate body surface area

Staff can use the {AnimalBSA} template variable to show the body surface area (BSA) of a patient. ezyVet uses a value that a practice manager sets in the related species record to calculate the correct values that the template variable shows.

Make sure that you know the constant (K) value of the body surface area that you want to use.
