🩺 Veterinary school prepped you for a lot, but not every possible case. The VIN Foundation Small Animal Veterinary Nerdbook® helps to fill the gaps with its Primary Care chapter, covering commonly seen problems in general practice. And now it's available online on VIN in an updated and expanded 4th edition, FREE for VIN members!
So when your favorite derpy, lovable Lab patient obliviously gallops in with a case of happy tail, a broken claw, or foxtail... ahh, snortation (new word?), consult your trusty Nerdbook and you'll know exactly what to do.
Originally created in 1994 by Dr. Sophia Yin, DVM, MS, this must-have quick reference guide is filled with essential information to help you in practice, including up-to-date diagnostic methods and treatment options, plus new chapters covering behavior, palliative care & euthanasia, and more. Give The Nerdbook a look today and round out your general practice knowledge!

When passed by popular vote in California in 2018, Proposition 12 was considered a landmark animal rights law.
The legislation establishes minimum space requirements for pregnant pigs and prohibits selling pork raised on farms that don't comply. The law applies to all pork sold within the state, no matter its origin. Now, Congress is considering language in the upcoming farm bill that brings the future of California's law into question.
