Members' Recommended Vets

I have used Battleflats for over 7 years for various animals (horses, dogs, pigs & an owl) though not yet for the piggies. I have every faith in the team there and their abilities in dealing with all animals. Will post further if I find differently with the piggies.

They deal with the animals at Flamingoland so deal with a wide variety of animals as well having one vet who specialises in accupuncture and another with an interest in homeopathy.

Hope this helps.....
 
For Essex I recommend Alex Maute at the South Beech Veterinary Surgery in Wickford, 01268 560660

He has an interest in small animals/exotics

Edit: Alex Maute has now left the surgery, unfortunately. I have not yet met his replacement.

i use the christchurch veterinary surgery in ipswich suffolk, they specialise in small animals, they are soooo nice, and we are very happy with them.
 
Can anyone recommend a cavy savy vets in or around beeston please? - I love the Alreton Park Vets but it's such a long way (30 miles each way).

I'm looking for something a bit closer now my vets have started charging the earth, whilst becoming pants! >:(
 
Beks do you mean Beeston Nottingham? if you do On ilkeston Road Radford Davisons vets is fantastic.

This is the vet I use very good with all animals and everything needed in one building.
I know that no one lives in my area but thought i would post this up anyway incase sometime theres a new member from Paisley/ Renfrew or surrounding area needing a vet.
 
Re: Recommended Vet in Aberdeen

I use Heidi at Town & County Vet Practice in Millburn Street, Aberdeen.

She is very good with pigs and knows her stuff!
 
I'm with the myerscough branch of vets, useless is putting it politetly ::)

well they aint too bad, but when asked about info on pregnant piggies, i got a blank look.
 
Gatehouse veterinary surgery in Baldock, Hertfordshire (on Bedfordshire border, well worth the drive). Seriously Affordable, cavy savvy, rings the Cavy Trust if unsure, used to work with them too. Have always sent me home live pigs after surgery, for tumours, spays, neuters, c sections etc. Just CANNOT praise them highly enough. Treat cavies with the same respect as dogs or horses, their gut instinct saved my pigs on occasions when conventional wisdom would have doomed them. 15/10. Just cannot fault this wonderful partnership.
 
Anyone know any good cavy vets in Basingstoke or close to it? I'm trying to find out all these things before I get my piggies. Thank you.
 
Does anyone know of any vets/rodentologists in either tyne and wear or county durham? Should the time arise that the piggies need a trip to the vet then I'd want to make sure they got the best treatment from a knowledgeable vet!
 
there is a good one at estover if anyone lives in or near plymouth

I live between Darlington & Durham and although I have struggled to find a vet who specialises my vet (part of Wilson's group) has always taken a keen interest. A pet shop in the town recently starting selling guineas and rabbits so I think they are getting more and more through the door so I think they are having to become piggy savvy. I haven't as yet had an emergency but I did have my little man neutered there and he recovered great.
 
Had cause to take the boys, found lice on them, but they wouldn't treat them without seeing them. Cost me over £20 for a consultation, then another £20ish for treatment, but it will last for four months. I had to go back for the stuff as they don't keep it in stock, but it was there first thing the following morning.

They also stock Burgess Excel feed including the hay.
 
As some of you know I am moving back to Cornwall. Anyone heard of a good guinea vet in the Truro area? I will be devastated to leave Roger behind...
 
lucinda I'm sure there will be.. there are alot of good vets in cornwall i'll try and and find one a friend who has chinchillas goes to x
 
Anyone know of a good piggy vet in Co. Down, NI? Mine are great for rabbits and will do their best for the piggies but when I brought my first pregnant sow to them to confirm they said 'Mmm, could be compacted faeces'...
 
Anyone heard of or knows of a good vets for guineas in the West Midlands/Worcestershire areas?

Would need to be near to Stourbridge/Kidderminster really as i dont drive, but can get a lift there.

Wont use my local vets for any small animals for certain reasons and would like to know of a vets in case i need one in the future

Thanks :)
 
Hi,

Don't know if this is any help at all but I'm living in Sunderland now and there is a PDSA Animal Hospital up the road in Southwick. I haven't been in myself but gave my neighbour a lift there when one of her rats had bumblefoot.
