veterinary information websites

some useful vet links that i've come across so far. this list is mostly for veterinary students, but for paranoid pet owners who can't stop thinking about a potentially minor problem, the merck vet manual might be a good place to start before then asking for your vet's advice (remember, even a phone call to the vet can be beneficial - better to know all the possibilities in case it is something serious)

General
Merck Veterinary manual
- quick guide to animal care, diseases, management

WikiVet
- online veterinary education! wikipedia created by UK vet schools.

Veterinary Information Network (VIN)
- collection of recent news, articles, forums where you can talk to other vets from around the world (and help solve cases /search for specialist knowledge). it's free to join if you are a vet student - to get you addicted and join at a fee after graduating.

Veterinary Information Portal (VIP)
(University of Sydney)
- another site with articles (including animal behaviour & welfare science essays created by 3rd year students, summarising recent research findings)

Anatomy
Carnivore Dissection (University of Minnesota)
- labelled images of a carnivore dissection

Horse Dissection (Cornell University)
- labelled images of a horse dissection

Pathology
PathPedia
- this is a human website, but has useful histopathology images describing many disorders

WebPathology

- also a human website

Embryology
Normal & Abnormal Mammalian Development (University of Carolina)
- actual scanning electron micrographs! very useful when static images from a book are too unclear

Reproduction
Pathways to Pregnancy and Parturition, 2nd edition
- download link to the textbook by Senger

Neurology
Atlas of Veterinary neuropathology (Cornell University)
- haven't used this, but another resource for the complex brain can't hurt

Genetics
Introduction (James Cook University)
- inheritance, coat colours, population genetics etc etc (can't remember what else was learnt in that subject -_-")

Human Molecular Genetics, 2nd edition (Tom Strachan & Andrew P Read)
- free online version of the textbook

Parasitology
DPDx (Centers for Disease Control & Prevention)
- wonderful life cycle diagrams with explanations

Sustainable Control of Internal Parasites of Sheep (University of Sydney)
- basics of integrated parasite control, including a section on anthelmintics

Australian Wool Innovation
- another site for integrated parasite control, mainly on

Cats
Felipedia
- haven't used it myself, but it's CATS!

Amphibians
Articles on Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis: the amphibian chytrid (James Cook University)
- extensive lists of journal articles & other publications about the chytrid fungus and the decline of the world's frogs :(

Pocket Pets
Diseases of Research Animals (University of Missouri)
- mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, gerbils, hamsters. not the nicest connotations, but useful nonetheless.

Guinea Lynx
- one of the best sites for guinea pig owners, even has a forum to discuss with other owners.

redundant thought of the day

ohhhh make your own leg warmers! *scrolls down the page to see how* - requires knitting (-_-') don't know how. "I know, i'll just google how to make them out of socks!"

on an unrelated note, i've not been letting biscotti sleep on my bed for the past few nights, so now whenever she wants to get on the bed, she zooms into the room and jumps straight on, before i can say no. and then after jumping on, she meows cutely. *let it be.. let it beeEEe, let it be... let it be!*
