Finding Treatment
Vet Database
The American College of Veterinary Medicine has a search
feature that should find oncologists in just about any area of the United States

and enter your location. Click to

Search Engines
If you have a favorite search engine, it can be very useful in finding the
right veterinarian or animal medical center. For example, you might try a search
for "animal oncology". We like to use quote marks when we want to
search for the whole expression. If you want to find an oncologist in your city,
such as "Boston", you might go to www.google.com
and enter: a search as follows:
veterinarian +cancer +boston
Note that there's no space after the plus (+) sign. Typing all lowercase is
fine. This search will find all listed pages with the word
"veterinarian". It will then weed out all pages that don't
contain the word "cancer". From these it will then eliminate all pages
that don't contain the word "Boston". This search yielded 4,470
listings when we last tried it. With a little practice, you'll soon be a master
searcher!
For your convenience, you can enter your GoogleTM
search query here:
To search the WEB:
Replace YOURCITY with the name of your town or state. If your
city is more than one word, enclose in double quotes (ex:
+"New York"). Alternately, you can delete the entire query
and enter your own.
To search "SparkyFightsBack.com":
Check "Search this site", delete the contents of the box and
enter your query.
