The Electronic Zoo
http://netvet.wustl.edu/ssi.htm
Like the NetVet Veterinary Resources site, the Electronic Zoo
is vast in size, and unwieldy for locating specific information. However, it is divided
into categories that are useful for browsing. The quality of the links varies; some are
scientific or scholarly, others are intended for entertainment. Categories include domestic animals (ferrets, pigs, small ruminants, cows, dogs, etc.,)
and some less familiar animals (marine mammals, invertebrates, zoo animals, etc.) There
are also categories for image and sound files.
Equine Resources
http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/library/equine.html
Provides an abundance of web resources on horses.
The Raptor Center
http://www.raptor.cvm.umn.edu
"...specializes in the medical care, rehabilitations, and
conservation of eagles, hawks, owls, and falcons.

Resources. Provides short articles on a limited number of diseases of cattle, swine,
sheep, poultry, horses, and general livestock. Each article includes the authors
name and specialty.
Case Studies in Small Animal Cardiovascular
Medicine
http://www.vmth.ucdavis.edu/cardio/cases/
Offers 36 actual cases of canine and
feline cardiovascular disorders. Each case study presented at the University of
Southern California Veterinary Teaching Hospital and first lists the primary
physician, the faculty surgeon, and the consulting clinician for that case.
Studies next provide signalment, presenting complaints, history, physical
examination, and problems of the case, along with radiographs and
echocardiograms. Finally, a short quiz of one or several questions follows.
eyevet.org

Examines eye problems with dogs.

list established by the Federation of American Scientists. The archives are searchable by
the name of the species or disease.
Links to Other Resources" (at the bottom of the AHEAD home page) provides
links to veterinary information sites in several categories, including disease
information, epidemiology, and electron micrography.

GENERAL SOURCES |
Current Veterinary Journals
http://www.medvet.umontreal.ca/biblio/vetjr.html#TOP
A free indexing service (rare on the Internet!) produced by the University of Montreal.
The service indexes articles from over 100 veterinary journals in English. Citations are
taken from the tables of contents of the journals, and the journals indexed are listed on
the main page. The "Database reference search engine" allows keyword searching
for up to three keywords.
Intute : Health and Life Sciences - Veterinary
http://vetgate.ac.uk/about/
" ...a gateway to evaluated, quality Internet
resources...created by a core team of information specialists and subject experts based at
the University of Nottingham Greenfield Medical Library." Resources are good,
though coverage is spotty. The search engine works best with single word searches
such as "euthanasia" or "horses."
NetVet Veterinary Resources
http://netvet.wustl.edu/vet.htm
A huge, comprehensive collection of links to veterinary and animal sites. Its vast
size makes it difficult to use, especially since the internal search engine leads to broad
categories, not to specific sites. A good resource for anyone willing to spend some time
browsing, but less useful for locating specific information.
