The short answer is, everything. At a minimum, a veterinary medical record should include basic data from all visits - vital signs, presenting complaint, client history of complaint, diagnostic results and treatment. More progressive records will also include a description of conversations, including refusal of treatment and statements regarding what treatment will be pursued.
