More about this
How do I know if the VetConnect PLUS Module is activated and set up correctly?
At the top of the patient file there is a Diagnostics drop-down menu. Once the VetConnect PLUS module is activated within Animana with a valid account and download credentials, you will see the option “IDEXX Reference Lab” and/or “IDEXX In-Clinic Analysis” inside the Diagnostics drop-down menu of a patient file.
If these options are not visible in the drop-down menu, please contact our Customer Support team for assistance.
