Members' Recommended Vets

Acorn Veterinary Centre in Studley West Midlands is very good for guinea pigs and rabbits, they work with guinea pig and rabbit charities so they have a lot of experience.
 
I am currently searching for a vet in the Norfolk area - as close to Norwich as possible since my piggy isn't too keen on car rides :) - that can perform dental surgery without anaesthetic, ie molar clipping. Thanks :)
 
I have used Sheriffs Highway Vetinary Hospital in Gateshead for years, they have been very good-so far only one "bad" consultation and had guineas for nearly 10 years!
 
I happened to find an excellent vet in Glasgow if anyone is interested, his name is Julian and he works at the Una McLean surgeries -

137 High Street, Glasgow, G1 1PH - 0141 553 2555

13 Queen's Crescent, Glasgow, G4 9BL - 0141 332 1934

I saw him at the High Street practice, but he specialises in guinea pigs and rabbits. He clearly knew his stuff and was thrilled to see a pair of piggies in his surgery. If my pigs needed any more veterinary attention, I'd definitely take them to him.
 
do you know any good vets in belfast ? let me no please and can any1 help me with this problem

hi my piggy has a small hardish bit of what i think mite be just her hair stuck to her skin near her back end or a scab like patch its been there for over a week could it be an infection ? and should i try and wash her on that note how often and how should you wash your piggy ? i also wntd 2 no do long haired guinea pigs shed there hair? and can you tell me how often piggys need their teeth clipped ? please let me no
 
Probably worth starting a new thread on this, if you haven't already. The hard bit at the rear end sounds like it could be a grease gland, which can get a bit icky and hard.
 
since there are no recommended vets in my area i thought id recommend one.

companion care, in derby (inside pets at home)

they seem pretty good with piggys. theres a male vet there who seems to really know his stuff. there is also a nice lady vet who although isnt quite as knowledgable as the man, i very good with the piggies. ive never had any problems with them when ive taken my piggies there, and not as pricey as one of the other vets in my area.
 
Can I warn people of a bad vet?

Abbotswood Veterinary Surgery in Yate, Bristol. He charges a fortune just for a consultation, doesnt know anything about piggies, and just puts every animal he can't cure to sleep. He's evil!

Sorry, didn't mean to break the rules or get the forum in trouble! I am sorry! :-X
 
My new vet Emmie at Highertown Surgery, Truro seems very nice and knowledgeable about guineas. She operated on Rocky today.
 
Does anyone know of a good vet in east london and close to Canary wharf.
 
Sorry no,but someone else may know.


It would not be too far for you to get to my vets on the Ewell By Pass in Surrey.Anne and Andy are gp experts,and owners travel long distance to them.Let me know if you would like contact details.
 
Hi,

Battle Flatts near Strensall, York are good. It is a long way but vet Andy is very good with pigs and he is gentle with them. Forest House (Knaresborough) also have a good pig vet.

Yes a fantastic vet is Jason Burgess at the Woods Animal Hospital on Bristol Road, Quedgeley. Gloucester. I cannot recommend him enough.
 
I would recommend my vet, but he's not very knowledgable about piggies (willing to learn though O0). I'd only be recommending him because I have a crush on him! :smitten: >:D

Email Wendi at Thistle Cavies, (put it into search :) ) she may be able to help :)
 
Ian Cox
New Era Veterinary Hospital
Jersey, Channel Islands.
01534 730521

This is my very own vet and I swear by him. O0 He loves to learn and since introducing him to my hairless guinea pig, he's actually been researching them out of interest. He's always studying something new and he loves to throw ideas around. I couldn't ever have asked for a better vet. He's also trained in exotic species and his knowledge of guinea pigs is just vast.
 
Is there a cavy savy vet in Dorset? Preferably Portland/Weymouth/Dorchester.
Thanks :)
