🐶 Dog Triage & DispositionStanding-Order Decision Aid

Pick the dog’s main problem. Check what you actually see and the tool tells you whether it can be treated in-house under standing orders, needs a vet, or is an emergency. Every disposition is drawn straight from the shelter SOPs.

Every standing-order medication from the dog SOPs, with dose, route, frequency and duration. Doses apply only under a written VCPR and staff sign-off. Red rows are contraindicated or vet-authorization-only.

Dose Calculator Worksheet

Volume / count to administer · verify every result before dosing

Dose calculator

Pick a drug, enter the Dog’s weight, then enter the strength of the product you actually have on hand. The calculator works out how much to give — but you must verify it against the label before administering.

Fill in the three fields to calculate the amount to give.
Always verify before administering. This calculator multiplies the standing-order dose (mg/kg) by the weight you enter, then divides by the product strength you enter. It cannot see your actual vial or bottle. Confirm the drug, the concentration on the label, and the final amount with a second person or the veterinarian. Ranges show the low and high end of the approved dose — start low unless directed otherwise.

Feline Grimace Scale — Pain Assessment

Score each of the 5 categories 0–2 · total 0–10

Assess a calm, undisturbed cat. Score each of the five categories from 0 (absent) to 2 (markedly present). Score all five for a valid total. Reassess after any intervention.

Based on the Feline Grimace Scale, Université de Montréal (2019). Scoring bands reflect the shelter's reference chart — confirm your rescue-analgesia threshold against your veterinarian's protocol.

Rescue analgesia: on the shelter's reference chart, a score in the 1–3 band is marked as the cut-off for administering rescue analgesia. The originally published scale uses a score-ratio threshold instead. Because this decides whether an animal is medicated, confirm the exact cut-off with your veterinarian before relying on it.

Clinical reference, not a substitute for veterinary judgment. Standing orders apply only where a written VCPR and staff training/sign-off are in place. Euthanasia always requires veterinary authorization. All drug names, doses, and criteria are reproduced from the shelter’s own Standard Operating Procedures and require local veterinary sign-off before use. When in doubt, contact the shelter veterinarian.
