Apologies for the *extreme* delay in updates
Sorry everyone for not updating the site regularly; I currently do the manual updates myself. 2008 has been an incredible year of personal change along with the continuing balance of the day job and IRCF. I will start to actively update the site again. Thank you much for your patience! ~des

Concerns regarding Bearded Dragon diseases, especially Adenovirus and Yellow Fungus
Reptile Rooms has a page devoted to adenovirus and yellow fungus
Pogona_Diseases is a Yahoo! list that covers general diseases with focus on yellow fungus
Attn: Vets & Owners - if you have information (pathology reports, cases, etc) re: adenovirus in herps (esp. bearded dragons), please supply the information to Reptile Rooms, as they are dedicating their efforts to understanding this disease!

**Spotlight on Reptile Conservation **
These are projects that I have been directly involved with and hope that others will become as passionately involved as I have been. ~ Desiree

IRCF is involved with several Cyclura & Ctenosaura, Project Heloderma, and Gharials in India programs.

Disclaimer

The following listing has been compiled with the help of reptile and amphibian owners who have had experiences with the veterinarians listed here on HVC and have personally recommended them; there may be cases of negative experiences (in which vets have the opportunity to respond to these posts). It is hoped that submittors are doing so in good faith; these postings are based on personal experiences and HVC does not verify the comments to be accurate. It is highly suggested that you interview the vets yourself and make your own decisions as to whether to use any of the listed veterinarians. HVC was designed with the intent to make the process of searching for an experienced herp veterinarian easier. The decision to visit any of these listed veterinarians is entirely up to you.

Recommend Your Vet!!

If you would like to recommend your herp veterinarian to others, simply complete the submission form with as much information as possible. If a vet is currently listed but you have updates or comments that you'd like to add, simply complete the modification form. Please provide your comments in an honest and concise manner. We will review & verify the information and post the submission to HVC in a timely manner.

We thank you in advance for your input! Without your support, HVC cannot benefit the herp community. The little time you spend making your vet recommendation can save a herp's life!!!

How you can help HVC

HVC would not be able to assist the herp community without your help. Aside from recommending your vet, webmasters can link to us. Let us know when you do and we'll be more than happy to reciprocate the link! We do have banners for your usage! Thanks again!
