Death

The death tab is used for capturing information about the animal's death if it is deceased. The most important field is the deceased date, as it used by the system to identify that the animal is really dead. The PTS and DOA fields are used for auditing reports and figures.

In addition, an icon will be shown at the side of the death tab if the animal is dead. Also, the animal's location will be shown as [Dead]. This is so you can see this information immediately on opening the animal record.

A special field ``Died Off Shelter'' can be set if you know a particular animal that is located off the shelter has died. This ensures that the animal's death is not included in the shelter's figures, but still shows the animal as dead everywhere.
