Can I add a medication if I forgot to input it at the time of administering?

If you forget to record an already given medication don’t worry you can input a past or backdated medication.


To input a past medication for one horse you must do the following steps.


On the home screen of your EquiTrace select the top button which says ‘Find Horse’.


You will then have a full list of your horses on this screen. You may filter this screen by Name, Barn, Dam, Recent. You can also search by horse name.


Select the horse you wish to input past medications into.


On the horse profile, select ‘Treatments for this Horse’


Once selected, you will select the bottom ‘Add Previous Treatment’


You may then scan the drug’s box barcode by selecting ‘Scan Drug’ or alternatively you may type in the drugs name in the ‘Enter Drug’ box.

How do I adjust medications?


Adjust medication dosage quantities by selecting the edit button beside the drug you have selected. Here you may adjust the Amount in ml, Route, Frequency and Treatment Times.

Can I change the Competition Authority for my medication?


Depending on the competition authority your animal is competition under you may change this by selecting ‘Change’ beside the blue bar that says ‘Based on’.


In the empty boxes below, you may input ‘Condition Treated’, ‘Prescribing Veterinarian’ and if it is applicable to you, you can enter in the ‘HISA number of Prescribing Veterinarian’.


Once you have selected the medication you would like and completed the above steps you must select ‘Record Previous Treatment’. Once you select this button a pop up will appear where you must state the date and time of first treatment. You must also mark the entire course up to the current time as given and select confirm.


Once you select confirm, the medication will be marked as given on the past date you have selected.
