Health Conditions

Descriptions of many common health conditions affecting animals have been developed by ACVS Veterinary Surgeons and residents in veterinary surgery residency programs.  The American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS) hopes that you will find these topics helpful.  We recommend contacting an ACVS Veterinary Surgeon or your general veterinarian for more information about these conditions. Find an ACVS Veterinary Surgeon in your area.
