Record a parasite-related event
Use Parasite for a parasite-related observation or completed procedure in the animal’s history. Clearly note whether an entry is an observation or a treatment given, along with the date and source. The category is a way to organise records. Keep the parasite observations, product details and completed work together with your existing prevention plan. Discuss health decisions with your veterinarian and do not present an unconfirmed finding as certain.
Check the animal and existing record
Before choosing Add Event, compare the animal’s ear tag and business with your source record. Health, treatment, parasite, reproduction and birth events require an active, unarchived animal. If this is the wrong record, close the form and find the correct animal. If an earlier attempt had an uncertain outcome, inspect its timeline before adding another event to avoid a duplicate.
Distinguish the observation from the procedure
Open Add Event and select Parasite rather than leaving the default Vaccine category. In Title, say whether this entry describes an observation or an action already completed. Use Note for factual details from your farm record and any existing veterinary instructions. Do not turn a suspected condition into a confirmed diagnosis or record an intended application as if it had already happened. Retain any source document and compare it with the entry before saving.
Separate event and follow-up dates
Event date initially shows today. For an earlier event, enter its actual date as YYYY-MM-DD or use the calendar. A future event date is rejected. The calendar uses a known birth date as its lower limit; check a typed date yourself too. Follow-up date is separate and optional. Enter the planned check date here and keep the date of the completed event in its own field.
Save and verify the result
If attaching an optional photo, wait for selection to finish. Review the required Title and the dates, then choose Save once. Correct the cause of any warning rather than submitting unchanged values repeatedly. Inspect the animal’s timeline for the saved date, category and description. If you entered a follow-up date, check the linked reminder. Check quiet hours, Android notification permission and battery settings so the phone is ready to show reminders.
Use follow-up for the planned check
A follow-up date records your chosen check or appointment. Enter the interval from your existing care plan or agreed appointment and retain the original instructions. Keep the diagnosis, product instructions, dose and withdrawal requirements from your veterinarian’s plan with the record. Keep the source instructions alongside this local record. Follow the animal’s later observations and checks alongside the Parasite event to track the outcome over time. Make uncertainty explicit in the record.
