General Information
There are so many places with information about pets. We like PetPlace.com (http://www.petplace.com/) for general information. There is information on new puppies and kittens, kennel training or liter box training. There is medical information on most diseases and excellent advice for behavioral disorders. In addition to PetPlace.com, there is a lot of good health related information at the public sight for the Veterinary Information Network or VIN called Veterinary Partner. We are proud members of VIN. We use VIN to get information on the latest therapy for our patients http://www.veterinarypartner.com/

Information about Pain in Pets
The doctors at SCVH take pain seriously. Pain in pets is not like pain in people. Pets don’t usually vocalize or cry out especially with chronic or long lasting pain. We are members of the International Veterinary Association of Pain Management. The following links have information on how to recognize pain in your dog or cat. There is also a video.

Information on Diabetes Mellitus
Home care and home blood glucose testing are becoming easier with the advent of the new glucometers that use very small amounts of blood to test glucose levels. With a simple ear prick that most pets tolerate well a glucose level can be done. This information is used to change the amount on insulin given per our instructions. These websites are excellent sources of information.
