I just want to say that this is an beautiful example of the hacker ethos being put to use. The creator got into a new field, saw a hole in information, and put together a neat, useful resource. Just perfect.

Actually, I was having this exact same issue last week, as my dog was sick and I found myself scouring google for even a semi-organized resource. Excellent job!

I am going to save, but I think it still could use some medications to be complete. I think some commonly used "farm" medications, like the very effective de-wormer; panacur would be a good addition. For example, this drug can be given orally in food as a paste, tastes ok, is safe and will eradicate roundworms, hookworms, whipworms and certain tapeworms.
