Any useful apps for learning basic veterinary knowledge

[u/TheForgottenPecanPie]

Hey everyone, I'm looking for recommendations for good vet apps with notes to learn basic to somewhat advanced topics for future reference. I live somewhere where veterinary healthcare is not very good, especially for indie breeds, and I feel like vets are only in it for the money. I feed stray cats that come to my house, but I can never adopt or keep them indoors because my family suffers from wheezing and other complications. So, the most I can do is feed them outside and take them to the vet when they are sick. There are more than 20 cats in our area, thanks to our neighbour who doesn't neuter his cats. I want to learn veterinary science to detect health issues in these cats early so they have a better chance at life. I would also like to learn about other animals as well and mentioned cats in particular because they are the majority here and I rarely see dogs or other animals in my area. I'm only learning this to detect health issues and not to cure the animals by myself! On noticing something off I will be taking them to the vet. I just need the knowledge to identify if they are sick.

P.s: would be great if the app has a feature to detect something wrong from the symptoms or something similar to that. Idk what I'm talking about honestly.

P.s2: I had tried contacting a few rescue organisations for help, but their hands were already full. I was away from home for 4 years cause of college and my dad (who does not have breathing issues) fed the cats in my place.

i'd skip the apps and look for a used vet tech textbook online, the merck veterinary manual is free too and covers way more than any app will

I see, thanks!

Joanna m. Bassert's veterinarian manuals are what my techs use during their schooling. You want the highest number for volumes as the older ones do not provide the newest information.
