At the end of every clinic, a vet or tech should “finalize” the drug log. We cover what that means in other sections. However, what happens if they don’t finalize the drug log from the day before. What that means for you is you will not be able to start a new drug log without finalizing the drug log from the day before.

To finalize from the day before, click the “Finalize Day” button, click Yes on the pop up. This will finalize the day.
