Veterinary discharge instructions template pack

Three go-home sheets and the paragraphs that fill them, as snippets you can insert where you already type. Type a shortcut, fill in the popup, and the sheet appears with the pet's name, medications and recheck date in place. Set your clinic's instructions and your after-hours number once, and every discharge carries them.

What is inside

Full sheets:

• /dcgen: the general discharge, with what we did today, medications, food and activity, what to watch for, your clinic and emergency numbers, and a recheck date calculated from the interval
• /dcspay: the spay and neuter post-op sheet, with a cone or recovery suit menu, the rest period, and a sutures block you switch on when there are skin sutures to remove
• /dcdental: the after-dental sheet, with an extractions block that adds the soft food period when teeth came out

Shorter snippets for commonly typed paragraphs:

• /vaxmon the vaccine reaction paragraph, /genmon what to watch at home after a sick visit
• /erinfo your hours and your after-hours clinic, /recheck the closing recheck line
• /bland the bland diet with the amount per meal, /vdhome the vomiting and diarrhea paragraph
• /preanes the night-before fasting and drop-off times, /cone the incision and cone reminder

How it works

Install the pack, then type a shortcut wherever you write to clients: browser-based practice software, email and text platforms, and installed programs through the Text Blaze desktop app. Fill in the text boxes and pick from the menus as it inserts. Guidance notes show while you fill in the form, never in what the client reads.

These are veterinary client handouts in your own words, not a PDF to copy from.

Start here

Free to install. Use /dcgen on your next discharge. Then save one paragraph you type often as your own snippet: /vaxmon, the vaccine monitoring paragraph, is a good first one, and it turns a paragraph into seven characters.
