Dolitl is a Large Animal Practice Management Software that lives on a server. It brings traditionally separate systems such as cattle tracing, milk recording and drug supplier ordering under one system accessible over the Internet. It ensures records and documents from mobile laptops and other sites are available to all authorized employees and usable offline when no Internet connection is available.

Dolitl built with web technologies. It is not a “web-enabled” application – it is a website. However, it runs like an Intranet (a private version of the Internet), a website that comes from a central server available only to the company where it resides. It also allows restricted outside access so that it can be used in the field by employees.

The software’s Server is simple to install and easy to maintain as it’s all in one place. It can be accessed by computers connected directly to that server; these are called “local” users. If the server is connected to the Internet, dolitl can also be accessed by offsite “remote” users – as long as they have a connection to the Internet. Dolitl highly compatible with peripheral devices and means that there is no need for any server configuration to use scanners, printers and other external devices.

The web application is built with ASP.NET, which is the code that delivers web pages to your browser. Other communication service technologies are used to provide a faster web experience in addition to enabling easy integration with other systems, such those run by the wholesale drug suppliers. The entire application runs using the latest version of the Microsoft .NET Framework, which takes care of memory management and transactions providing a stable and safe environment for the application to execute in.

Dolitl is connected to the Internet, and so any other computer also connected will be capable of using it. This makes getting to work as easy as getting online from any equipment running a suitable web browser. File replication is a necessity, and Amazon S3 provides a simple facility to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. And Dolitl has it!! Dolitl uses this capacity to copy files between sites so that you will have access to them all, again ensuring they are not kept in one place.

Being on the web, dolitl can be used by just about any device capable of using the Internet. From the home desktop, laptop or smart phone – anything with a web browser can potentially be used to view the system. Any changes can be viewed immediately by everyone at the same branch, and after a short delay, at all branches.

The license gives you the right to use dolitl for the subscription period. The fee is determined by the number of carers and dolitl site installations. Carers are “employees who generate revenue because of the functionality of dolitl” (typically vets, clinicians and nurses) but not back office administration staff or receptionists as they are granted a free license. A web license allows the practice to have a public website that integrates with dolitl. This means customers can login, view their account and settle invoices. The website also enables the practice to sell items online. Click here to learn more how will the cost of dolitl be calculated.

The dolitl name comes from a contemporary take on Dr John Dolittle, the familiar character created by Hugh Lofting.

Canine distemper is a highly contagious and serious disease caused by a virus that attacks the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and, often, the nervous systems of puppies and dogs. Puppies and dogs usually become infected through airborne exposure to the virus contained in respiratory secretions of an infected dog or wild animal.

All dogs are at risk but puppies younger than four months old and dogs that have not been vaccinated against canine distemper are at increased risk of acquiring the disease.

The first sign of distemper is eye discharge that may appear watery to pus-like. Subsequently, dogs develop fever, nasal discharge, coughing, lethargy, reduced appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea. In later stages, the virus may attack the nervous system, bringing about seizures, twitching, or partial or complete paralysis. Occasionally, the virus may cause footpads to harden.

How to prevent Canine Distemper?

Vaccination and avoiding contact with infected animals are key elements of canine distemper prevention.

Vaccination is important. Young puppies are very susceptible to infection, particularly because the natural immunity provided in their mothers’ milk may wear off before the puppies’ own immune systems are mature enough to fight off infection. To protect adult dogs, pet owners should be sure that their dog’s distemper vaccination is up-to-date. Ask your veterinarian about a recommended vaccination program for your canine companion.

Below are kinds of vaccines that often used to prevent canine distemper:

Unlike any other system from any other supplier, Voyager offers a different way of thinking about data storage, access and retrieval, software maintenance, installation and client interaction. Voyager offer Networking Security and Stability via their SQL Server Clustering.

Two or more servers are configured in a cluster arrangement to operate as a “virtual” SQL server. Each server has software locally installed AND also installed via a shared sub-system with the other servers in the cluster.
A “heartbeat” is heard between servers in the cluster, ensuring each server is functioning properly, if not, then “Failover” occurs – i.e. if one machine in the cluster fails, another assumes the responsibilities of the downed server thus the hardware failure does not result in loss of functionality for the application.

Different tissue effects:
•    smooth cutting (CUT),
•    cutting with increased degree of homeostasis (CUT1),
•    standard coagulation (COAG1) and
•    Superficial coagulation (COAG2).
Each of these modes has independent power setting, shown by digital LED indication. A digital memory stores the last power settings. The unit can be activated by footswitch. Overheating (OH) and Power failure (PF) sensors increase the patient’s safety. A status monitor on the front panel indicates if some of the controlled parameters are out of the norm. If this happen, the control circuit immediately switches off the output power and generates a sound alarm.

This unit is designed to work flawlessly even at operations requiring long duration and high output power. In the same time it provides precise adjustment in the low power range (Micro mode). During his work the surgeon independently and conveniently can activate the different operating modes by two-button electrode handle or by double footswitch. Separate potentiometers adjusts the output power for each group of working modes, thereby minimizing the necessity of readjusting the unit during the operation. The patient’s safety is increased by Neutral Electrode Monitoring System (NEMSY). Optionally the unit can,be equipped with ENDO SAVE system to additionally increase the safety for both patient and instruments. BUY NOW
