VetMath
This is an amazing calculator for figuring out all those pesky drug dosages! Enter in your patient's weight and it will show you how much (in mgs and mls) of the drug to give. Every aspect is customizable for the drugs you want to use at the dosages that you prefer for the species you are working with. You can even see the full calculation to make sure the math is correct. This has been a very useful tool for anesthesia to quickly work out pre-med and induction protocols.

Look up information based on the location of the infection or the drug name, and even view the product insert for each antibiotic. There's even a description of how to interpret MIC reports to further guide your antimicrobial choice.

Cell Counter
It's your basic bench top white blood cell counter for reading a blood smear, but it also calculates out the percentage of each cell type and gives you a corrected WBC count at the end. If you count an extra cell you can easily subtract it without having to start all over again.

ivDriprate
Instead of trying to count out the number of drops in 10 seconds, why not have a counter do it for you? Just click on the big drop every time the IV drips and you'll have the drip rate in drops per minute in no time. This has been a great tool when running anesthesia to make sure your patient is getting the correct amount of fluids.
