Tracking Weight, Feeding, and Clinical Notes

A diagnosis is a snapshot; patient care is a movie. The Patient Record in Veetz includes three follow-up tools that turn isolated visits into a continuous health story: the weight history, the feeding record, and the clinical notes diary. Together, they help you spot trends early — a puppy growing below the curve, a senior cat losing weight, a diet that is not working.

Where Everything Lives​

Open the patient's record (see Managing Patient Records) and, in the Registration tab, expand the panels at the bottom of the page:

  • Notes — the patient's clinical diary.
  • Weight & Feeding — weight history and diet records.

Adding Records with the Save Menu​

The fastest way to add any follow-up record is the Save button's dropdown menu at the top of the record. Besides saving, it offers one-click shortcuts:

  • Add note
  • Add weight
  • Add feeding

Each shortcut saves the record and opens the right form immediately — perfect for the middle of a busy consultation.

Register the patient first

Follow-up tools become available after the patient is saved for the first time.

Weight History​

Every weigh-in becomes part of the patient's growth story:

  • Weight by age chart: As soon as records exist, Veetz plots the patient's weight against its age — trends become visible at a glance.
  • Record list: Each entry shows the Date, the Weight, and any Notes, with edit and delete actions.

To add a weigh-in, use Add weight in the Save menu and fill in:

  • Weight and Unit of measure (for example, kg).
  • Notes: Context that matters — "after deworming", "fasting weight".
Weigh at every visit

The patient's most recent weight also powers the automatic dose calculation in prescriptions — keeping it current makes every prescription safer. See Issuing Digital Prescriptions.

Feeding Records​

Nutrition questions are part of almost every consultation. The feeding record keeps the answers organized. Each entry shows the Date, the Food (with details), the Quantity, the daily Frequency, and Notes. Use Add feeding in the Save menu and fill in:

  • Food name, Food type, and Food brand.
  • Quantity and Unit of measure, plus Feedings per day.
  • Nutritional details when relevant: Calories, Protein, Fats, Carbohydrates.
  • Notes for guidance or observations.

Clinical Notes (the Patient Diary)​

Quick observations that don't belong to a formal anamnesis still matter: a phone follow-up, a behavior change reported by the owner, a reminder for the next visit. The Notes panel records each entry with its Author and Date, building a chronological diary of the patient.

Use Add note in the Save menu, write the note, and save. Notes can be edited or removed later.

A structure that works

Many teams write notes following the SOAP method (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan). Veetz leaves the format free, so adopt the standard your team prefers — consistency is what makes the diary valuable.
