Medications & health

Available on all plans. Access from the animal's detail page under the Medications tab.

Medication templates

Before logging a treatment, create a medication template under Account → Medication templates. A template stores:

• Medication name (e.g., Panacur, Baytril)
• Default dose and unit (mg/kg, ml, etc.)
• Default route (oral, topical, injection)
• Instructions / notes

Templates save time when the same drug is used across many animals — you fill in the template once and reuse it.

Logging a treatment

On the animal's Medications tab, click + Add medication. Select a template or enter a custom medication, then fill in:

Field	Details
Date given	Date of administration
Dose	Actual dose given (pre-filled from template)
Route	Oral, topical, injection, etc.
Course length	Number of doses / repeat interval if applicable
Administered by	Staff member or vet name
Notes	Observations, side effects, follow-up instructions

Scheduled courses

Set a repeat interval and end date to create a course (e.g., every 3 days for 15 days). ScaleVault will show upcoming doses on the animal timeline so nothing is missed.

Health timeline

All medication records appear on the animal's Timeline alongside feedings, sheds, and weight logs, giving you a chronological health history.

Tips

• Create templates for common preventatives (e.g., routine deworming) so every keeper uses consistent dosing.
• Use the notes field to record the prescribing vet so it's easy to follow up.
