Do It Yourself Veterinary and Animal Care

"A health resource for rural and urban farmers - You know Hesperian’s classic Where There Is No Doctor. But have you heard of Where There Is No Animal Doctor? This book, published by the Christian Veterinary Mission, is part of Hesperian’s Health and Empowerment Bookshelf – great health and community empowerment resources produced by other publishers and distributed by Hesperian.

Heavily illustrated, with straightforward, accurate information, Where There Is No Animal Doctor covers the health and care of poultry, rabbits, goats, sheep, pigs, horses, mules, cows and bulls. It addresses disease prevention, control and treatment, and the promotion of good animal nutrition, and contains an important chapter on the public health aspects of raising animals." - https://app.e2ma.net/app/view:CampaignPublic/id:35444.11023305907/rid:3427807e6b317a2f387bbcadc2c0c2e6

Tom Sez - In addition to being an excellent resource for pet owners, zoo keepers, farmers, or anyone else who cares for animals.....this could be an idea springboard for low-cost, do it yourself, products.....hmmmm?

What do you think?

What's holding the public back from inventing their own Tricorder and winning a bunch of money?


Here's an Idea Trampoline on which to jump to your own design - http://tgideas.blogspot.com/2012/03/could-open-innovation-hasten-creation.html


Citizens of the world unite...Don't wait for the "professionals" to make such a potentially wonderful device. 


Maybe that's what they meant in "Live Long and Prosper."
