Favorite Links

One of the great things about the Internet is that it provides those of us who prefer to live in remote locations with access to an incredible amount of information. Below, I've listed some of my favorite web sites with a brief explanation of their contents.

Animal-Related Sites

Drug Research Sites
A major change I've noticed over the years is people's increased desire to know more about any medications prescribed for themselves or their animals. I consider this a positive change because it reflects their choice to assume a more active role in the treatment process which I know bodes well for animal physical and behavioral health. Such knowledge becomes increasingly important in this age of specialists and complementary approaches where professionals in one area may be unfamiliar with the medications prescribed in another. Add all the people who self-medicate themselves and their animals with over-the-counter remedies, nutriceuticals, herbs, and supplements, and the need to become an informed consumer becomes even greater. Because of this, I've included a list of sites I've found helpful as I've tried to sort out drug-related issues for myself and my clients. Unfortunately, all of these are human sites and you should NEVER assume that what holds true for humans also holds true for animals. Although I've been able to find good information regarding certain specific veterinary drug interactions, I've yet to find any site that puts it all in one place like these do. If you know of one, please let me know. In the meantime, these sites will provide good human-related information which should enable you to narrow your search in the on-line veterinary literature.
