INTRODUCTION

This page, like my entire site, is still a work in progress. But, my intension is to use this as a platform for listing resources which have proven helpful to myself in the practice of veterinary medicine. I expect the page will be a work in progress for some time yet as I intend to continue to add links and information to the page. I currently have some of the links that I've found especially helpful in practice as well as a few miscellenous items. Hopefully the page will prove helpful to others in the veterinary field.

VIN has proven to be an excellent of source of information and I highly recommend a subscription.

BOOK SOURCES:

Exotic DVM / Saunders / LWW / Blackwell / Reptiles-Krieger / Amazon.com / Merck

As a devoted book junkie I've tried to include just a few of the better sites, but again I may be adding to the list over time.

VETMED Products:

Warming Blanket: This is a recent acquisition for our hospital and one that I that has proven invaluable to us for both small animals and exotics. We utilize a Bair Hugger, but I believe there are a couple different brands available. The Unit works by blowing hot air through thin paper blanket which envelopes the patient during anesthesic procedures. These are commonly used in human medicine, especially with small patients such as infants. The unit provides a safe from of heat for the patient. We have found that when used in conjunction with the fluid line warmer most patients don't vary from their pre-anesthetic temperature. I highly recommend this type of warmer.

Vetriscience/Glyco-flex - joint supplement. Good Informational web site.

Harrison's web site - excellent brand of avian pellet diet. This web site is a good resource for people in the veterinary field as well as pet owners.

FLAVORx - flavoring system for medications.
