Dosage and Billing

Clinic Math
Vet techs do math every shift — dosages, billing, supply costs. Getting it wrong hurts animals and the business.
Step 1 — Weight conversion
Dog weighs 45 lbs. Convert to kg: 1 kg = 2.2 lbs. Then calculate: antibiotic dose is 10 mg per kg.
Step 2 — Clinic bill
Services: Exam $65 | Antibiotic $38 | X-ray $120 | Flea treatment $42. Add and apply 8% tax.

Know the Signs
A vet tech recognizes when an animal is sick before the owner realizes it. Animals cannot describe symptoms — you read the physical signs.
Question 1
A dog comes in with pale gums. Healthy gums should be pink and moist. What does pale or white gum color usually indicate?
Question 2
A cat has not eaten in 3 days. What serious condition can develop within days?
Question 3
A dog was bitten by a snake — swelling, drooling, trembling. What do you do first?
Reading
Patient Chart
📋
Read the Chart
Every animal has a patient chart. Read it accurately and catch anything important before the vet walks in.
PATIENT CHART
Patient: Max — 6yr male Labrador
Weight today: 94 lbs (Last visit 8 months ago: 88 lbs)
Vaccines: Rabies current. Bordetella overdue 4 months.
Medications: Heartgard monthly — last dose 6 weeks ago (overdue).
Reason for visit: Limping on front right leg after playing fetch.
Allergies: Penicillin — causes hives.
Question 1
Max gained 6 lbs in 8 months. For a Labrador, this is significant. What should the vet discuss with the owner?
Question 2
The vet wants to prescribe an antibiotic. What must you flag before any antibiotic is given?
Question 3
Before Max leaves today, what two overdue items should you remind the owner about?
Life Skills
Talking to Pet Owners
💙
Handle It With Care
Pet owners love their animals like family. How you talk to them — especially when the news is hard — defines the professional you are.
Scenario 1
An owner waited 45 minutes past their appointment and is raising their voice. What do you do?
Scenario 2
The vet asks you to tell the owner their elderly cat has terminal cancer. The owner starts to cry. What do you do?
Scenario 3
An owner insists on a specific medication that is not what the vet prescribed. What do you do?
