Pet Pals, Veterinary Surgery Games animated 3D for Windows and Mac

The game does a good job of being matter-of-fact and professional, asking you to select the three most pertinent, professional questions to ask, handling injections, rectal temperatures, and stool samples with a minimum of fuss. It will present the cases with info on the normal pulse and temperature for that species, then ask the doctor if a particular reading is high, low, or normal.

The program takes about 15 minutes to install, but once installed, you don’t need to insert the CDs to play – something I really appreciate rather than expecting a child to handle the CDs (or having to take them on trips). Pet Pals is a great game to give to any youngster who loves animals or loves a more realistic game.

The cases seem well chosen to help educate about the care of the various species and to help compare and contrast appropriate care for different animals.

For example a rabbit with a hairball, and you could learned that rabbits cannot vomit, that hairballs are life-threatening, and that rabbits are poor surgical candidates. removed an abcess from an iguana in minor surgery, which was just the right amount of ‘icky’ to help get the feel of the real thing.  Details >>
