What’s on the form

Every section, and what it’s for.

01

Referring vet & destination

Your clinic and veterinarian, the receiving hospital and service, and how urgent the referral is.

02

Client & patient

Owner contact details and the patient’s signalment and weight.

03

Reason & history

Why you are referring, a short clinical history, and the current problem list.

04

What’s been done

Diagnostics already performed with key results, and treatments given, so tests are not repeated.

05

Your question

The specific question or service you want from the specialist.

06

Records enclosed

A checklist of what is being sent, and how you want to receive the report.

Using it well

Small habits that make it worth the paper.

Ask a real question

“Please assess for surgical candidacy” or “second opinion on the mass on thoracic films” gets a more useful report than “please see”.

Send images, not just reports

Specialists usually want the original radiographs or ultrasound images. Tick the box and send the files.

List medications with doses

Include what was given today. It matters for anesthesia, for further testing, and for avoiding duplicate drugs.

Questions about
this form.

Printing, editing, and what the form does and doesn’t cover.

What should a veterinary referral include?+

The reason for referral, a concise history, current medications with doses, diagnostic results already obtained, treatments given, the question you want answered, owner contact details, and copies of relevant records and images.

Do I need the owner’s permission to send records to a specialist?+

Many states require client consent to share records with third parties. A records release form signed by the owner covers this.

Can I use this for emergency transfers?+

Yes. Tick the emergency box and add the treatments given before transfer and the time of the last doses.

Can I type it before sending?+

Yes. Fill in the online version, then print it or save it as a PDF to email with the records.

Veterinary SOAP Note Template

2 pages, US Letter, portrait

A clean, two-page SOAP note for exam-room documentation. Vitals and a body-systems checklist up front, then a structured assessment and plan with a medication table, so nothing important gets lost between the exam and the record.

Lab & Diagnostics Request Form

1 page, US Letter, portrait

A request form for in-house tests, send-out labs, and imaging. It keeps the clinical question with the sample, so the person running or reading the test knows why it was ordered.

A starting point, not legal or clinical advice. VetStack’s forms are general templates. Requirements for medical records, consent, and controlled substances vary by state and practice, so review the wording with your practice’s attorney and check your state veterinary board’s rules before adopting a form as standard.
