Helpful Web Resources for Pet Care

When you have a sick animal, inevitably you will have many questions. There were many times during Sadie’s illness that I was able to pick up the phone and chat with her veterinarian. When we switched vets, there were many days where the return call might never come. I know how busy vets are, and they cannot always take the time to call you during the day. But nor can you take your pet to the clinic every single day (although, as I’ve stated before, I have 15 receipts to show for the month of Feb ’08 alone!). Below are some helpful resources where you can find information pertaining to the health of your animal. It is not intended to be a substitute for your vet’s advice, but while you wait for their call, it’s nice to know where else to turn. These sights contain information ranging from medicine databases, to resources on specific diseases, how to interpret test results, and articles on a variety of subjects, etc.
