For anyone in North Wales, particularly somewhere near Wrexham, I can recommend Vets4Pets Wrexham.

Two years ago, just a few months after we adopted my 2 sows, one of them, Meemee, started bleeding. We brought her to a vet here near where we live, but the vet there told me some piggies bleed when they're in heat and it will just stop after a few days. But hubby and I were a bit hesitant to just ignore it. So the next day, we took her to Vets4Pets Wrexham even if we live in Denbigh. When we arrived, the vet examined her right away, did some x-ray and ultrasound and they found out her ovaries were inflamed. They advised her to get spayed. So that same day, Meemee was spayed and we took her home in the afternoon. She hasn't had any problems ever since.

Hubby said that in the past, he had also took his past piggies in Vets4Pets Wrexham and they found them very knowledgeable with small animals. The vet even told us she has guinea pigs herself too and that made us feel safe.
 
Hi, I know Highcroft vets in the Bristol area has been recommended on here, but can anyone tell me whether that is a specific branch or any of them?
I see they have quite a few branches and have just opened 2 new ones nearer to me which would be easier than the Wells Rd one, as my GPs hate the car and I'm quite far away. Thanks!
 
Sorry I have answered my own question - just rang them and asked. Wells Road hospital is the place where the 3 exotics vets are based. Have now registered and taking them both to see Gemma this week. It's a trip but if she's good it's worth it
 
Can highly recommend the Beaumont Sainsbury Animal Hospital in Camden (part of the Royal Veterinary College) as they did a neutering for my piggy for only £52 including all meds and 2 follow ups. I have had to wait some time when being seen once but it wasn't a problem and they have appointments almost immediately, unlike the RSPCA Harmsworth Memorial Animal Hospital for which I asked for a neutering in April and the next available appointment was mid July! (plus the £12 saved really was not worth the extra time to wait)..I still have the appointment and will maybe get the other boar neutered.
 
@Emma Porter Have just asked cavy corner in doncaster if they know of one, will reply here when I get a reply
 
I can't vouch for the surgery as I've never been there myself but I was just looking at the information for the practice where my cousin works in North Norfolk and once of the Vets is listed as having an interest in guinea pigs:
http://www.glavenvets.co.uk/staff.html < Johnathan Kirby.

I'm not really on speaking terms with my cousin so can't really ask her opinion but I just thought I'd share the info here for anyone in the Norfolk/North Norfolk area who might want to investigate.
 
Anyone needing a vet near Southend-on-sea?
IF so go to see Louise at the Earls Hall Vets group. She is fantastic with my little man and is doing research to find a way to keep him comfortable and with us a while longer.
 
Best exotics vet in Liverpool is Village Vets in Woolton, very well equipped their xray is designed so they rarely have to give anaesthetic.
 
Vet in Bristol ! Hi there can I just add this to a list of good vets! I'm told they are fantastic
Jelena and Michael are the good vets.

Unit 11a, Shield Retail Centre, Gloucester Road, Filton, Bristol BS34 7BQ 0117 969 8400
 
RE vets for pigs. Anyone who gets a piggy should try and find a good piggy vet BEFORE your little friend has a health problem. It's important that the vet see the pig when it's in good health as well as when it's ill. Then they get a good idea of what's "normal" as far as appearance, behavior, etc., with your animal.
 
Hello.... any recommended vets that specialise in small furries/piggies in the North West Wales area please?
 
I mentioned this on another post but think it's better here. I rang Tilehurst vets today and Jenny Towers is on maternity leave.
Someone on the forum recommended Hannah Tombs at Ashworth vets in Hampshire but she's also on maternity leave.
Also found out from ringing Goddards that Anne O'Meara only works Monday to Wednesday (don't know if she's elsewhere during the other days).
 
Can I suggest Fiona Diamond at Coastal Vets, Snettisham for anyone in the Kings Lynn / West Norfolk area. All the vets at the practise are brilliant, but Fiona has special interests in Rabbits and Guinea Pigs and has been amazing with my boys - especially for their castrations.

The practise details are:
16 Alma Road, Snettisham, Kings Lynn, Norfolk, PE31 7NY
Phone: 01485 544201
