HELP VETERINARIANS MOVE INTO THE 21ST CENTURY…ONLINE!

Click on this link [linkhttp://www.surveyshare.com/survey/take/?sid=37701]http://www.surveyshare.com/survey/take/?sid=37701[/link] to take a free, anonymous survey. Win a prize!

We can purchase books and clothes, buy groceries, get a loan, e-mail and chat with our friends, and pay our bills—all done quickly online using the internet. WHY NOT GET OUR SOME OF OUR VETERINARY SERVICES ONLINE AS WELL?

Are you tired of making an appointment with your veterinarian, packing up all the animals, and paying a big vet bill just to get your prescriptions and some advice? I have asked that question—and few others—to see if there is a better way of delivering some high quality veterinary services at a reasonable price in a short amount of time. But will it work? Would anyone be interested in it? Your opinion wants to be heard!

You can help me, a licensed veterinarian in North Carolina, find some answers to those questions. Point your browser to:

and take a free, short, and anonymous survey, and throw in a few ideas of your own! As a thank you, three participants will be randomly selected to receive a free $50 gift certificate to Petsmart, just for completing the survey and helping veterinary services move online and make your life easier!

The survey is free, anonymous, and takes about 5-10 minutes to complete. Pass it on to your friends as well.

Welcome to the forum!
Interesting thoughts, as a breeder/owner/handler I myself find that there are many things I know my dogs need in way of treatment from previous experiences but I would have to be cautious of the "average" owner being able to diagnose what is really going on with their pet.

Perfect example, I had a girl who developed Pio, knowing exactly what was going on I took her to my local vet and asked for Baytril, he confirmed that it was Pio and wanted to spay her. I requested the treatment as she is a show dog and I want to finish her championship. My vet works well with me and listened. The Baytril is available for me at online ordering but someone else might not have noticed what was going on completely to diagnose this online.

It will be interesting to hear the others thoughts on your survey. I hope you will stick around and be a contributing member

I personally think the best resource for vet care and information is your own vet because he sees your pet regularly and ther is no fee to call the vet and ask questions. Just another money maker for someone. If I can't call my vet 24/7 then what good is he. Intially sounds good but thinking about it , there could be alot of misdiagonosis due to not seeing the animal etc.
