When I first created Ask A Vet Question, my goal was to help as many people online as possible and to populate the web with good, accurate veterinary advice. I answered many questions for free, often spending several hours a day doing so.
Some health issues combined with some fantastic life changes took my career on a totally new path. You can read more about my story here.
I would highly recommend visiting the veterinarians at JustAnswer.com. They are good, reliable and know their stuff. I used to answer questions there years ago. The questions are not free, but they do have some very low cost options. You only pay if you are satisfied with your answer.
From time to time I'll answer questions on the Ask A Vet Question Facebook page. However, this is definitely not recommended if you have an urgent question.

Dr. Marie is a veterinarian who practices in a busy animal hospital in Ottawa, Ontario. She created Ask A Vet Question as a resource for good, accurate veterinary advice online. Dr. Marie treats dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and rats. She has been a vet since 1999.
Is an online vet visit just as good as a trip to your veterinarian? No! But, many times, asking an online veterinarian a question can help save you money. While Dr. Marie can't officially diagnose your pet or prescribe medications, she can often advise you on whether a vet visit is necessary. You can also ask Dr. Marie for a second opinion on your pet's condition.
