Dr. Wright’s Chart for Patient Home Care

0
0

I realize that it can be difficult to keep track of all the treatments that your pet may need. I created a couple of documents that you may download and print at home to help you better care for your pet.

Please pick the chart by how often you have to perform a treatment. For example, you have a rabbit that needs an eye ointment three times a day, a pain reliever once a day, and an antibiotic twice a day. You should download the chart “Three Times Daily”.  Maybe you have a tortoise that gets soaked once daily and an injection every three days. You should download the the chart “Once Daily”.

 

Here’s an example of how two people would fill out a treatment chart.

I recommend that you use a different colored highlighter to plot out when a treatment is due. Once you’ve administered the treatment you may put an X through that box or write your initial. Initials are a great idea if more than one person is caring for your pet so you know who did what every day.

Get a digital postal scale that is the right size for your pet. The upper limit may vary from 1500 grams to 11 kilograms or more.

Take the time to record important changes or observations that may be important for a veterinarian to know.  For example, a weight loss or gain may be important if it continues from day to day. You may want to buy a postal scale from one of the stationery stores such as Office Max or Staples. Get  a scale that is appropriate for your pet’s size and that gives the weight in grams. You may get a nice scale for between $30 and $65 for pets that weigh 11 pounds (5,000 g) or less. You may be spending $100 to get a scale that weighs heavier pets. For examples of digital postal scales, follow this link.
