Members' Recommended Vets

The Avenues Veterinary Centre on Cathcart road in Glasgow is great! They took wonderful care of Skittles and kept me up to date on his health and taught me how to syringe feed him.
 
I live in Red Lodge, Suffolk, can anyone recommend a vet in Newmarket/Cambridge/Bury St edmunds area, I currently use Aquarius vets in Soham but want a second opinion
 
Can anyone recommend a good guinea pig vet in the windlesham, Woking, Bracknell area? I have a great rabbit vet (windlesham vet) but I don't know enough about guinea pigs to find out about their guinea pig knowledge (I'm adopting three in a few weeks time). I've seen several recommendations for a vet in ewell but there are inside the m25 and I'm worried about traffic in an emergency situation.
 
Hi, I have posted before on here, but because I've moved I am using a different vet.
I use Cinque Ports Vets, in Lydd. I find them very good. All my animals get on well there, and one vet Sharon is lovely.

It may be a bit far for you, but All Creatures Healthcare north of Norwich were brilliannt and have tried to get all their staff extra training and qualifications for exotics. They sorted BrownPigs abscess after Chapelfield vets fobbed me off with a nurse appointment, and it was clear ACH knew what they were doing in terms of handling/ treating small piggums.
 
Highly recommend vets for vets in peterborough, the vet Cees Bennet it amazingly caring and i felt he was honest and his main concern was my piggie, he did come recommended from my sis in law and i was not dissapointed despite the sad outcome 8...

Please does anyone know of a good vet in the South Hams, Devon? The local vets are very nice, but seem more attuned to "large animals".
Thank you

Agree with this. We take our reptiles to a vet in Ivybridge and they have been amazing, so might take the guineas there next time instead of our local vets, see if they have anymore knowledge of guineas.

I use Gabriel Grilles & Asscociates at Filham Park in Ivybridge who have been fantastic so far. http://www.filhamparkvets.co.uk/
I know also that Louise who runs Little Brambles rescue always speaks well of Justine at Woodlands in Ivybridge - have no experience of her myself but Louise highly recommends her. http://www.woodlandsvets.co.uk/
Hope this helps :)

Hi.

I am registered with Manor Vets in Birmingham at the minute and with a possible third being added (see my pets at home thread) I think I need a proper cavy savy vet.

Can someone confirm that manor vets have a cavy savy vet or recommend a vet that is good with pigs in the West Midlands area?

Thank you

I would recommend sending a PM to x-vic-x who is part of Walsall RSPCA.
 
Battleflats Vets, Strensall, York

Hi I'm not sure if I am posting in the right place but I was just wondering if anyone here has experience of Battleflats Vets in York. I saw it was on the recommended vets list but would love to hear from anyone who uses them at the moment?

I'm just back from a horrible vet trip (at another practice in York) with my baby boy Tobi. He has his second respiratory infection in 2 months and is also suffering with very dry skin. The vet was really awful and I desperately want to take him to someone with some compassion and guinea pig knowledge. He pulled a huge chunk of my baby boys hair out for examination with no warning and then gave him an enormous injection without telling me what was in it. I still didn't know until I got my receipt at the desk on the way out.

He wants to see him again tomorrow and was awful to me when I mentioned it would be a struggle for me to get in at the time he wanted me there. I am confined to a wheelchair and dependent on carers to take me out. However I would never dream of not taking my baby boys to the vet, I love them far to much for that, it was just that the time he wanted me there was when my carers would still be getting me up for the day. I managed to get a lunchtime appointment but he has made me feel dreadfully guilty about my little man as if it is some how my fault. I was horrified the way he yanked his fur out without letting me hold on to Tobi for comfort. He didn't talk to him or stroke him or react like Tobi has any feelings at all. I was devastated when I got home and Tobi was cowering in his basket. Please can anyone recommend a vet in York? I will be ringing Battleflats as soon as I can in the morning to see if they can see him there. The other place was appalling and I almost fell out of my wheelchair getting into their inaccessible building. My poor baby boy should not have been treated like that.
 
After Rebel's castration, if you're looking for a cavy savvy vet in West Cumbria, you can't get better than Millcroft surgery. I can't sing their praises highly enough. If anyone is after getting their boys done, their standard of work is excellent and Vicki Temple is a fantastic exotics vet. ;)

Guinea pig vet in Norfolk

I would like to get my 3 year old boar castrated and try bonding him with my sow. Please can anyone recommend a vet in Norfolk who is experienced at guinea pig castration?
Many thanks!

Does anyone know a vet near reading that looks at back teeth without general anethetic because my piggie had one last week but our vet had to stop filing when an abcess burst and my piggie still can't eat!?
 
I'm in the East midlands, Derby, and I was asking this question too after an unhappy experience with my local vets. I contacted Avalon Guinea Pig Rescue (Nottingham) and was told they use: James and John at Dove Vets, Derby Road, Stapleford. Tel:0115 9399010. Apparently, they know all about piggies, and care about them too - worth a try. xx

I know you replied to someone else, but thank you for this information. We live in Bury St Edmunds - if anyone knows anyone close (Ipswich/Colchester/Thetford/Cambridge etc) then let me know, but I will store these details in case we need to use them for our piggies :)
