Veterinary Medical Information
There is a lot of information on the internet, much of it accurate. Unfortunately, there is also a lot of inaccurate information. Please use care in your online research. Our best advice is to rely on sites and links by veterinary colleges and by veterinary practices. Any other sources need plenty of corroboration – please ask us for help if you want more information about any of your pet’s needs. Sometimes you have questions you feel are too basic to ask, or you may feel we aren’t explaining well enough – it is our responsibility to help you understand what we diagnose and recommend for your pet. Please ask.
Veterinary Partner – accurate information by veterinarians about your pet’s medical problems.
The Indoor Cat Initiative – Ohio State University’s Veterinary College provides advice about cat ownership and especially indoor cats’ needs.
