HERE COMES PETER COTTONTAIL...

...only he's not a fuzzy rabbit and he hasn't hopped down the bunny trail to hide eggs in your waiting room. He's a dog who's just devoured a pile of chocolate treats and he's come to show you how they look regurgitated on your waiting room floor.

Don't panic! Enter the dog's weight, the type of chocolate, and the amount consumed into the handy Chocolate Toxicity Calculator to help you plan your treatment strategy.

The MyCalculations suite allows you to save your patients' data so you can compare, print, and share results from different visits. You'll find MyCalculations in the VIN Library and the VINdex (Ctrl + E >>Calc./Conversions).

Premedication Drugs Calculator: Common concentrations and doses are pre-filled, but can easily be adjusted. This new calculator includes eleven standard drugs plus the option to add two of your own.

Calorie Distribution & Dry Matter Calculator: Enter the moisture, protein, fat, fiber, and ash content of the food to quickly get the percentages of energy and dry matter.

Feeding Tube Calculator: Determine the amount to feed and create a feeding schedule that meets your patient's needs.
