Although this site can never take the place of a veterinary consultation it will hopefully help owners who are unsure whether to seek such a consultation. It will also help if you would like to understand your pet's illness or condition better, or if you would like information and help regarding your pet's behaviour. Of course if you have questions about how to house and feed your pet or any other husbandry issues which you would like clarified we can help too. In short we will be happy to try to answer any veterinary related questions which you may have. However if you are ever in any doubt regarding the urgency or seriousness of your pet's condition then seek immediate veterinary advice from your local veterinary practice.

Free veterinary information online

VetAsk is currently offering free veterinary information online. This free information service is in an "open" public format so please bear this in mind if you decide to try it.
