Traveling with your horse or planning to take part in events across different states can be challenging without the right paperwork. One essential document is the Coggins certificate, which proves your horse does not carry Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA), a serious and viral disease.
HVMS software offers tools that make handling these documents easier for veterinarians and horse owners alike. Learn how we can help streamline this part of your equine practice.
A Coggins Certificate is proof that a horse has been tested for Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) through the Coggins test. This blood test looks for EIA, a virus that can be deadly to horses and spreads easily among them.
Veterinarians do these tests and give out Coggins certificates. These papers are needed for taking horses across state lines or joining in many horse events.
The Coggins test is a key tool for finding out if a horse has Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA), a serious viral disease that affects horses.
It’s crucial to identify horses carrying this virus with the blood test to prevent the disease from spreading among other horses. Since EIA was first found in the U.S. in the 1970s, using a diagnostic test like the Coggins helps vets and horse owners put infected animals in quarantine, protecting other horses from getting sick.
Our HVMS software takes charge of tracking all test results and expiration dates automatically. This ensures that horses comply with travel permits and state regulations regarding infectious diseases.
Such functionality is indispensable for vets aiming to keep health records current, a necessity for animals crossing state lines or participating in various events.
Equine veterinarians appreciate how simple it is to create and retrieve digital Coggins certificates using this software. With just a couple of quick clicks, these essential documents can be dispatched promptly to horse owners or relevant regulatory authorities as required.
Veterinary clinics can now effortlessly schedule tests, keep an eye on sample statuses, and ensure timely submission to certified labs. This not only speeds up the workflow, but also reduces mistakes linked with manual data entry and managing physical paperwork.
By using such veterinary software, equine veterinarians find it simpler to stick to state rules regarding tests and vaccinations needed for health certificates. The system automatically refreshes itself with regulation updates, ensuring every test meets current requirements.
