    Thanks for an invaluable website.  There is no other resource in veterinary medicine, remotely as effective as the VASG.  I should have realized that you rely on contributions.  It saddened me to see that the website had been visited 1.2 million times but there were only 36 contributions so far.  In fact, I am ashamed I hadn’t contributed in the past.  I plan to make a yearly donation from now on.  Thanks again for the finest reference in veterinary medicine.

    I just wanted to congratulate you on the VASG website. I've come late to it but it is bookmarked in my browser right next to VIN.

Over 37 years in practice I have looked at many sources of information to help me keep up and keep from being bypassed and I don't mind telling you that the USEFUL information provided by VASG is second to none.

You have gone WAY beyond strictly intellectual information about all aspects of analgesia and anesthesia and have distilled this mass of materials and combinations into something a DVM can actually use everyday in just about all situations.

You have addressed dosages, standard drugs concentrations in the drug vial as it comes from the manufacturer, conversions, flow rates when administered with fluids, pounds, kilograms, mg/ml after dilutions.....all those things that required calculations only comfortable to a math major in undergraduate school. The CRI spreadsheet is just the best.

You have done us and many patients a service. I know that I was hesitant in many instances to try new protocols because the dosage combinations and calculations were often hard to find or hard to do. The fear of overdosing because of a math mistake often makes one stick only to what one knows...even if there is better out there.

So thanks for your efforts. I have printed out reams of information from the site and I am really enjoying just reading the stuff. I see some areas already that will be incorporated into my practice.

    I would like to in turn thank you for taking the time to put the website together.  Because of the web site I have a much better knowledge of anesthetic procedures and my patients are definitely much more comfortable.  I enthusiastically await the new and improved website.
   

Ѻ

    Hello, thank you so much for setting up such a wonderful site!
   

Ѻ

    thank you for this wonderful resource!
   

Ѻ

    Hello!  I really like your web site and found some really useful information.
   

Ѻ

    I was just recently made aware of the VASG website. Thank you so much for having all of that information in one place! It's an amazing resource. Thank you again for the resources available on the website - they will be put to frequent use!
   

Ѻ

    BTW, thanks for everything your doing, I graduated in 2004 from a school with a good reputation and didn't have a clue about CRIs nor how to sedate a patient with combos such as DKT.  at school we used oxymorphone SQ q 4 hours.  How primative and expensive, and painful needle sticks!  thanks again.
   

Ѻ

    Thank you for a great website and great information!
   

Ѻ

    Thanks for an excellent web site.
   

Ѻ

    What a great resource! I really appreciate the fact that you have taken the time to prepare this information and are willing to share it.

    Thank you so very much!  I've been using VIN for some time now.  However, I just discovered you website.  What a treasure!  I really appreciate your sharing it with us.
   

Ѻ

    I really appreciate your site.  I have been visiting it for more than 2 years.  It looks/works great.
   

Ѻ

    I found your website while perusing VIN - thank you so much for the information. I'm starting my own veterinary clinic and want to do things "right" from the get-go.
   

Ѻ

    I was very impressed with your VSG website and the concise summary of anaesthetic and analgesic information and would like to congratulate you and your team or are you a one man band?
   

Ѻ

    I love your webstie.  I have found it very useful during my 4th year in veterinary school.  Could you please send me a complete set of the VASG files.  Please send me the dosing sheets in mg/kg.
   

Ѻ

    I love your website, and use it frequently for a valuable reference. Many thanks for your help, and I appreciate all the amazing work you do on your website.
   

Ѻ

    Your site has been so helpful to me & our clinic here!  Thanks for all your hard work!
   

Ѻ

    I love your webpage. It is very informative!
   

Ѻ

    Your website has now been featured in our in-hospital newsletter. With over 85 employees in two facilities, we had to go to a weekly "rag" to get info out to everyone.
   

Ѻ

    Thank you for doing this for all of us and our patients!
   

Ѻ

    By the way I love your site, thanks for your work on that.

Ѻ

Ѻ

    I love all of your resources!  I'm a big VIN lurker on the anesthesia boards and have learned a lot from everyone.  I appreciate all the work you've done with the website!
   

Ѻ

    Thanks for a very helpful site. I discovered it tonight doing some pain management research on VIN. I have already forwarded the link to two colleagues. 
   

Ѻ

    In any case, thanks in advance for all your great work. It's much appreciated by us and our patients.

    What a great web site!
   

Ѻ

    Thank YOU for the site. Its amazing. I tell my vet students about it as an important resource.
   

Ѻ

    As an aside, I very much enjoy the vasg website. The website, along with a talk you gave to the Genesee Valley VMA in Rochester a few years ago, has GREATLY changed the way we approach anesthesia in our hospitals.
   

Ѻ

   

Thank you for your nice email and for the wonderful resource you are offering us.   I use it very often and I’m happy to help a little! I’m from Montreal, my name is very French; my ancestors are coming from Acadie.
