Comments and suggestions about NetVet and the Electronic Zoo are welcome anytime. Since the site will soon relocate, about all I can do is read what you write to me and forward it to AVMA.

Thank you very much for visiting this webserver and for your consideration!
New and updated site submissions will be accepted, but do not expect to see them linked or fixed for the next few weeks while the site is being moved.
