Resources to consult for foreground questions
Point-of-care tools
Use Vetlexicon, Veterinary Information Network (VIN), or other point-of-care veterinary tools to aid in making evidence-based clinical decisions. Several online resources, including the open access journal Veterinary Evidence, provide summaries of current knowledge. For more information and a list of other point-of-care tools, see the Clinical Databases and Resources research guide.
Databases
Use PubMed with appropriate article types filter(s) (i.e. systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, and/or meta-analysis) or search other databases with the appropriate article type as one of the search elements. For more information about research databases, see the Research Databases research guide.
The free online database BestBETS for Vets offers a number of Critically Appraised Topics (CATs) for clinical questions related to a variety of species.
