Can anyone recommend a vet in the Ilford area to neuter my boar? In particular, I have taken bunny to Animal Ark in Goodmayes for her vaccinations. Do they have any cavy savy vets there or should I go elsewhere?
 
Its the first time I've read through this post, I use the Woodlands animal hospital in Mandon Plymouth, has anybody had dealings with this group good or bad, i've always had good service from here apart from 1 incident with some dental work or does anybody know of an G.P expert in plymouth. Thanks
 
Does anyone know of a suitable vet in weston super mare or surrounding areas like Burnham on sea, Clevedon, nailsea etc. Dont really want to go as far as the one in longwell green mentioned in a previous post. I need to get my boy 'done' pretty soon or he will be destined for a lonely life :(

Ashleigh Vet Centre, Chorlton, Manchester

A couple of people were asking about a decent vet in around Manchester.

I can report that I've just come back from there for the first time after registering Bisuit and Caramel. The veterinary nurse who saw them gave them their most thorough examination they've had yet.

She was very calm and gentle and seemed genuinely interested. She asked about their health history with their previous vet (they were ill with ringworm and Biscuit had a chest infection when we got them from Pets at Home in Stockport. They were thankfully treated free of charge by the vet at the shop).

She checked their little hearts and lungs and then checked their back teeth with a scope and gave them a weigh-in. Biscuit has been really nervous about going to the vet's, as you can imagine, but he seemed perfectly happy today.

It's only an initial visit and they were just checked out and registered but I was pretty pleased. It's quite a small waiting area though and very busy so there are a lot of noisier, bigger animals around but I was seen right on time so didn't have time even to fill in the registration form before being called in.

It was just over £40 in total which isn't cheap but they need to have a vet and I feel confident this is a good one.

Hope that helps anyone looking for a vet in the Manchester area.
 
Does anyone know of a good vets near to Essex, or Hertfordshire?
 
Hi all

Anyone got any recomendations for a good piggy vet in north kent.

I was recomended one on the Isle of sheppey by a local show judge and breader but after one visit I am no longer that confident in him.

Thanks
 
Vet/Rodentologist in the West Sussex/Brighton area

Seems crazy, but I've been looking for a guinea savvy vet for about three years around here!

Also does anyone know of a good guinea vet/rodentologist anywhere in Wiltshire? Could also do Bath and Bristol at a push, but mainly need to find one in the West Sussex/Brighton area!

Thanks!
 
any reasonably priced vets in westmidlands for neutering? that people have used and reccomend?

I haven't used either of these myself but have heard recommendations from others here...
For West Sussex:

Also there's a Rodentologist in Hastings:

I'm afraid I don't know about the other area but you could always contact a local guinea pig rescue to ask them who they recommend. (Cavy Rescue & Retreat is Bristol based so can perhaps point you in the right direction)

I saw on your other thread that you found a local Vet in the end. Just in case anyone else was wondering.....

Vets and Pets at Broxbourne, Herts, comes highly recommended by many members here. They have a lovely Rodentologist who comes in to run regular guinea pig clinics and the Vet, Amir, is very good with guineas, by all accounts.

Hi there,

I have only had my first piggy Spike for a month now and I think he is absolutely fabulous if a little crazy! I would really like to know if anyone can recommend a vet in the North East especially Co. Durham. I have other pets for who we have a lovely vet but despite his enthusiam for guinea pigs I would prefer someone with a little bit more expertise especially with neutering (if I consider it, though after reading a couple of posts I'm a little bit put off!) There seems to be a lack of piggy knowledge up here in the North!

Thanks

Was gonna ask the same question, i live in co durham.
 
My vet in stroud is fab

To get my rabbits teeth trimmed its a fantastic 2.50
for my rabbit who recently had lice to be treated was £6
and for all three piggie wiggies to be checked with one injection for lice was £6
 
For those looking for vets up north I use Abbey Vets who have a branch in Pelton, Chester le Street and a branch in Durham. The vets in particular I see are Jonathan and Christopher ( I tend to see Christopher the most ). I think both are very good vets, are willing to listen to alternative treatments and Christopher keeps guinea pigs himself so it's always a plus when the vet you use keeps the same animal! For neutering Layla recommends Easy Vets, specifically Fiona as the only thing she does is neutering.
 
If anyone is in the Surrey area I use Beech House in Hersham and they're fabulous with small animals, wouldn't trust anyone else! Jeremy is probably the vet I trust most there, plus he's kind of a cutie... rolleyes

Help for a poor piggy

Hi all i am very upset with myself as i rehomed some of my guineas as our shed got flooded with sewer water when the drains becamr blooked (again) and did not have the space indoors for them all as they do not all get on. I thought i had rehomed them to good people that would are for them as i did. I got a call from a friend who told me i should get round and check up on them which i did and i found them in a really bad way lying in their own filth no have in sight water bottles all green. I took them all back home to clean up and care for them i lost 1 out of 5 yesterday she was covered in what looked like blister sore round her girly bits and was skinny and had no strenght to eat i tried to give her some food and water by hand but it was to late for her.3 others are just dirty and skinny no other signs of ill ness and they need their nails cut which i am doing tonight after their baths.

sorry this is long i just fill so guilty for their suffering I have 1 guinea that is still giving me concern it looks like she has had a stroke the vet told me to clean her up and keep an eye on her as she is eating and drinking but she has trouble when she goes to the toilet and she has trouble moving 1 side of her body and keeps falling on that side. I have to keep cleaning her back end as her poos keep getting stuck is there anything anyone can recommend i do to help her more. please:...

One positive and one negative about them:
my husband saw Anne O'Meara there at Goddard Veterinary Group. He was over the moon with the friendly service and willingness to help, however I still had to take our guinea pig to see Vedra as they haven't diagnosed his guinea pig equivalent to Gout disease, although they did X-ray him. Vedra was able to diagnose him from his X-ray she made herself and by looking at his fur under the microscope and by asking a lot of questions. Obviously, Anne is willing and able to help in most cases, but not when it's a little bit more unusual.

If one vet didn't help, don't waist money on others and don't wait, go to Vedra:
