I have a piggie presenting with dental problems and wondered if anyone on the forum knows of a LOCAL rodentoligist or decent vets, in West Mids, Shropshire area. ?

I say 'decent' as in the past used several vets and the outcome has never been successful and have always made things worse. :(

I used to have a rodentologists details but cant find them at the moment, however he is a fair distance away and am really looking for someone more local to myself.! West Mids or Shropshire.

I have no faith in my local vets at all.

Hope someone can help, its not 'urgent' yet as she can still eat soft foods, and some hay, but dry foods are a problem so am syringe feeding at the moment to make sure shes ok. Fortunately she loves this and is taking it easily so maintaing her weight but it cannot go on indefinitely. Need to get her teeth looked at asap by someone competent.

With all the piggie owners out there and as dental problems are not unique, hope someone can recommend or steer me in the right direction so can get her seen to. There surely has to be someone in central UK ??

Any recommendations, anyone please ?

Thanks in advance.

I go to Simon Maddock at The Cat and Rabbit Care Clinic in Northampton. He is excellent with piggies. I've had a couple with dental problems recently and Simon has been fantastic.

I get the impression you are probably quite a long way away from Northampton though, but I can thoroughly recommend him.

Thank you for the recommendation but sadly thats way too far away for me to travel, especially as I dare say as with most dental problems its going to be an on going thing with repeat visits. :(

I need to find closer to home.

Where are all these rodentologists that have been training up over the years ?

Am beginning to feel that West Mids area is a bit of a black hole when it comes to finding good vets/rodentologists. :0:0

What about other GP forums, anyone go on any others and think it may be worth me posting on there to see if can find anyone ? Please PM me.

Thanks. x
 
The nearest decent person I have found is in Worcestershire - there are a few others who do bits and pieces but I am yet to find anyone else to do teeth and I've been in the Midlands pretty much all my life and the West Midlands for the last five.

There are a lot of people training via the CCT at the moment though so it could be worth sending a text or giving them a call to see if there is someone new up and coming?
