Members' Recommended Vets

I just clicked on that link, satinbaby - why is that vet not wearing anything under his lab coat?

Do you personally recommend them (for their cavy skills, not their entertainment value)?

Thanks.
 
No i honestly personally recc them and would never go anywhere else.. I have not actually been on the website but have just checked and i see what you mean.. Not a good image to be greeted with....I have never seen him i always see a lady vet but she is def fully dressed! They have been great with all my animals from guinea pigs my horses everything.If you scroll down the left hand side of options you will see the info for the surgery.
 
Sorry, another question: do you go to Rugby or Warwick, and do you see anyone in particular for guinea pigs (two questions, even)?
 
Rugby and i see Sam (lady)! ... Paula is very good for Guinea pigs too but i think she is over Warwick hope this helps hun xx

G/P specialist in Shropshire?

Hi all!
I am new to the forum and am desperately seeking a vet's who specialises in piggies.
Mine are fine with general stuff but, (well, I say fine, but they didn't even know about 'bloat' - so not that good!) a couple of my piggies have developed warty type things on their noses and flaky nose patch and my vet's have no idea what they could be :( so I need to take them to someone who would.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Post their symptoms in the 'health & illness' section; you're more likely to get a helpful reply. There are plenty of knowledgeable people on this forum, who may be able to help you treat the symptoms yourself. Vedra at the Cambridge Cavy Trust may also be able to help over the phone if not.
 
Does anyone know a good cavy vet in or around Huddersfield? - the Vets4Pets at Barnsley could be ok but that would be 20-30 minutes away - is there any good vets closer - I am at the southern end of Huddersfield.
 
ashleigh vets - exotics
whalley range
manchester

aidan is an amazing vet! i wouldn't trust anyone else to treat my rabbits and piggies.
 
I've just had a look through the vets list and found that Marcus Harrington is on the list for the Essex area.

I use to use his vets but they charge rediculous amounts for consultations. I'm just wondering what anyones experience of him is reguarding piggies?
 
Does any one know of any decent vets around the Birmingham area? I want to find a decent one but don't know where to start.
 
Can anyone recommend any vets in Leicester? There are a few on here in Leicestershire, but they are still a 30 min drive. I am not comfortable with the diagnosis made by a vet that I have already seen so I want to get a second opinion.

Which side of Leicester are you? I go to Chine House which is in Sileby and Craig Hunt is the exotic vet there. http://www.chinehousevets.co.uk/
 
Hi All


I have heard a rumour that there is a good Piggie vet on the Isle of Sheppey Kent

Anyone know which one it is

It was suggested that it was the Abbey Vets at halfway but if I need one in an emergency and cannot do the usual 120 mile round trip to the normal one I use I don't want to make a mistake and go to "Dr Death" if you know what I mean.

Thanks

Paul & Jeanette

I'm in Thorpe Astley. I have looked at their website and they look quite good. I am going to give them a call tomorrow and see if they will see my piggy as I am concerned. Thanks for your help.

Ooo easy to get onto the motorway from there. Yes, give them a call and if you explain that you are coming from that far away I'm sure they will be accommodating :) My only other suggestion would be to contact Honeybunnies and see who she uses as her vet. I'm not sure of the ladys name, I think it is Jill, but she runs a rabbit and guinea rescue in Narborough, so more your way.

Her details are;

Haven't used them yet but Cestria Vets http://www.merialvetsite.com/sites/cestria/home.html based in Durham and Chester Le Street clip rabbit and guinea pig teeth without GA or sedation. I've just been on the phone to them to find out, and the girl seemed quite shocked at the prospect of using GA for clipping teeth!

I think I'll be heading to this vets, seeing as its not too far from me. x
 
Newcastle Vets

I noticed a few people asking about Tyne and Wear vets and I'd just like to recommend Blythman and Partner's :) I normally go to the Wallsend branch but I have been to Gosforth in an emergency, they also have one in Low Fell and one in South Shields (and maybe somewhere else but not sure).

They are absolutely great with my rabbits, they neutered both with no problems, and I checked first that they had performed a lot of similar operations, I think they have at least one neuter a day! I've taken the guineas there as well, just for minor things, but they were great with them as well. They are really well priced as well, think my bun vaccinations were only about £15 there.

I personally would not recommend FirstVets in Heaton, when I rang them about my rabbits the girl said she didn't even know you could neuter rabbits. I also took my hamster there, and she said she didn't know what was wrong with him, but still gave me antibiotics and charged £40 for this. I later had to get him put down :(. i think they are mainly a cat/dog vet. other people may have had a different experience with them, but that's what happened to me anyway! it's a shame because it's just round the corner from me, but I'd rather travel and get them seen by somebody who knows what they're doing.

After speaking to this vet I have had clarification on this, and the vet wanted to make it clear that they would only clip front incisors without GA. They would always use GA for any work on back teeth.
