There is a lot of great information about anesthesia at this link:

American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia


and veterinary oral health here:

Veterinary Oral Health Council

Well you learn something new every day. I hadn’t heard about one even at the specialists I have been to so it must be a much bigger places.
