Veterinary Pharmacy Reference Software, Fast, Friendly and Efficient The veterinary industry faces a more informed, more demanding client than ever before. Pet owners are willing to spend more than ever before and expect the same level of service and care that is given by human doctors and pharmacists. Currently drug companies and veterinary practices face countless lawsuits regarding side effects, interactions, and lack of informed consent. Veterinarians have found that the VPR program has dramatically changed the way they are able to do their jobs, saving them and their staff time and money. Client are more informed and excited about the improved service they are receiving.
Better communication between veterinarian and client is vital. On the human side, the physician has a pharmacist to help dispense that kind of information. Veterinarians don’t have a pharmacist to help and by the nature of their practice, they are busy, so it’s more difficult to sit and explain every possible side effect to clients. And then, the third party you need is VPR (Veterinary Pharmacy Reference).

The drug information is available right from the Infinity Patient Processing module or from a button on the Infinity toolbar.

Make a fist and hold your hand out towards the dog’s nose so he can sniff your hand.
Talk to the dog in a normal voice. Do not yell or scream.
If the dog seems comfortable with you, gently pet the dog in the back (not on the head – that’s too close to the mouth, which contains those sharp teeth!)

Puppies and Kittens Vaccinations Series Very young puppies and kittens are highly susceptible to infectious diseases because their immune systems are not fully mature. While nursing, their mother’s milk contains antibodies (special proteins) that provide some immunity to diseases; however, these maternal antibodies do not last long, and there may be gaps in protection as the milk antibodies decrease and the puppies’ or kittens’ immune system isn’t yet capable of fighting off infection.
In many instances, the first dose of a vaccine serves to prime the pet’s immune system against the virus or bacteria while subsequent doses help to further stimulate the immune system to produce the antibodies needed to protect a pet from specific diseases. To keep these gaps in protection as small as possible and to provide optimal protection against disease in the first few months of life, a series of vaccinations are scheduled, usually 3-4 weeks apart.
For most puppies and kittens, the final vaccination in the series is administered at about 4 months of age; however, in some situations, a veterinarian may alter this schedule based on an individual animal’s risk factors. Remember that an incomplete series of vaccinations may lead to incomplete protection, making puppies and kittens vulnerable to infection.
