The emergency drugs button

Vet Radar shows the Emergency drugs pane on the workflow whiteboard and the patient whiteboard.

The Emergency drugs pane has a Patient weight* box. To calculate the correct quantity of each emergency drug to give to a patient, you must enter the applicable patient weight in the Patient weight* box.

If you select the emergency drugs button of Vet Radar's whiteboards, you cannot add the emergency drug to a patient sheet.

If you select the emergency drugs button of a patient sheet, you can add an emergency drug to the patient sheet. As a result, Vet Radar automatically enters the patient's weight in the Patient weight* box.
