Existing pets have either 1) already had at least one Lab Requisition form created, or 2) been uploaded with active clients from the hospital’s veterinary software. Pet name and species are typically already in the database for existing patients. When you access an existing pet for the first time, you will need to provide breed and sex information. This information will then be stored in your Lab Ordering database

To access an existing pet, first locate the pet owner. Then, select the pet name from the drop-down list, as shown below.

Always check existing pets’ species, breed, and sex information to ensure that it is correct, as it is this information that will be printed on the Lab Requisition form. The following fields are MANDATORY: Client Name, Pet Name, Species, Breed, Sex and Age. If any of this information is omitted, an error message will be returned when the Lab Requisition form is submitted.

To select species, breeds, and sex, click the drop down lists for each item. You can also type the letter that the species, breed or sex begins with, and continue typing the same letter to scroll through options (for example, in the breed field, for canines, typing D repeatedly will display Dachshund, Dalmatian, Doberman, etc.) You can click with your mouse or TAB to navigate between the fields.

Note: There are FIVE selections in the drop-down list for sex: Male, Female, Castrated Male, Spayed Female, and Unknown. To receive accurately reported results, it is important to choose the most correct of these selections.
