I can not get the vet locator to work.........it states "offline""

I'm in desperate need of a good piggy vet or rodentologist in the LA6 area. Lancs / south Cumbria area. Dental needed ASAP.

Please can anyone help?
 
You're between a rock and a hard place I'm afraid...

For dental I would go to Holly House in Leeds or Ashleigh vets in S.Manchester.

I believe there may also be a cavy savvy vet in Liverpool but I'm afraid nothing comes up for Lancaster....other nearest vet - but they may not be dental experts - is I think who Bosshog uses...might be worth sending them a private message.

Just wish I could find out if Gina Hayes in Warrington was still practising rodentology. But she has moved that many times I've lost track of her.

The vets at lytham have done me neuters x rays ultrasounds etc.. but not dental. I dont know her name unfortunately but you could ring and enquire.
 
Here is the website for Ashleigh vets in Manchester http://ashleigh-veterinary-centre.com I think Aidan Raftery is the exotic specialist there although I am not sure what they are like for dentals.

There is also a cavy savvy vet in Cheshire but without the vet locator, I can't remember the name.

My own vets are in contact with Ashleigh veterinary centre and do refer patients although touch wood, I have never had to use them myself so far.

Molly Varga at Cheshire Pet in Holmes Chapel Cheshire is my vet. She is an exotics vet and great with guinea pigs and rabbits (just published another book about rabbits)

These are the vets I am thinking of.

My vet also uses them as a specialist
 
Hi, our beloved 4 1/2 year old guinea pig "Asti" has a sore left eye, we've been to a local vets who suggested it was a hay poke and observed a suspected ulcer under special light, ointment prescribed which she's been on for a week and metacam anti a inflammatory, no significant improvement. Visited vets again today and they now say there are 3 pin pricks observed on eye, given chloramphenicol eye drops. We are now a bit concerned the vets are not specialist enough and are worried they are unable to provide the specialist diagnostic skills we need.

Please could someone recommend a specialist vet in the Reading area Berkshire? We would be so grateful!

Found a helpful, caring and knowledgeable vet in Ben Bennett at Colne Valley Vets, Colchester. Oreo, the black and white sweetie looking piggy on the right, is under his care at the moment!

If you can travel, I can also highly recommend Highcroft on Wells Rd in Bristol - I've used all 3 exotics vets, Jemma, Polly and Vim for first opinion stuff and I've seen Richard and Rowena in the referrals dept. They've worked miracles on my pig over the last 2 years.
 
Can anyone recommend a guinea savvy vet in Aberaeron, Wales as we maybe going away there for a weeks holiday. I'd be taking Artie my elderly guinea with me and the others will be going to boarding.

He's not needed our vet for a few months now and i take a guinea first aid kit with things like metacam and antibiotics but I always like to know where to find a good guinea vet just in case. Thanks.
 
i mentioned aidan at ashleigh vets already, but there is also an exotics vet called michelle and she is fantastic aswell. :)
 
Where abouts? I will ask around for you
 
Hi, does anyone know of a piggy savvy vet in the West Norfolk area. There's a vet at a practise in King's Lynn who keeps pigs herself so I suppose she's about the best bet that I know of but I don't know if she's actually piggy trained. The nearest one in the vet locator is Norwich but thats over an hour from me so not ideal in an emergency. Thanks.
 
another note to add - aidan raftery at ashleigh vets used to work with molly varga who is now at cheshire pets (i think) - he very highly recommends her :)
 
Hi, I am looking for a recommendation for a vet in the South East UK - Kent. We have just got a rescue piggie who we would like to have a thorough check-over, and also he may need to be neutered. We don't mind travelling if it means we get the very best care...
 
If you are able to travel to Northampton then Simon Maddock at the Cat and Rabbit clinic is the best though I would think there may be someone closer. Have you looked at the recommended vets locator on the top bar of the forum?
 
It does that on my Chromebook too but works on my phone. I will have a look.
