Members' Recommended Vets

I desperately need a great vet in cornwall, close to newquay if possible. My little guy is really ill and I need someone who knows exactly what they are doing - please if anyone knows of a good vet please let me know asap x
 
I take my animals to Pets @ Home Oldbury, W.Midlands.
Companion Care Vets - Good prices, great staff.
 
I cannot recommend this vet highly enough.

Helen L Charteris at:

Mead Veterinary Centre,
Mead Road,
Dartford,
Kent.

Telephone - 01322 22 33 11. (The phone number is easy to remember in an emergency too!)

She has been amazing with my guineas. She is firm but kind and instead of telling me off when I made mistakes early on when I had piggies she gave good clear advice on how I can improve and now I always take my piggies to her.

She even took care of a sparrow I rescued that was tangled in fishing wire. She is honestly a wonder.

Help

Do you know any good vets in the stafforshire area that i could take my poorly piggie to?
 
Hi Spanna98, It's not exactly staffordshire but...

I live in Sedgley west midlands near Wolverhampton and I take my piggy to Blacks Vets in Sedgley and at their sister animal hospital in Dudley. (63 Dudley Road, Sedgley,
West Midlands DY3 1TF
Tel: 01902 670900)

The Vet I feel very comfortable with is Emma Pacione, although I have seen 3 others who seem to know their stuff with piggies.
I always seem to see other people in their with piggies as well. It's not the cheapest though but I still take my Piggy there as they are used to her. They are very friendly with her and the Nurses always give her cuddles.
 
Hi can anyone recommend a good vet for guineas in Bedford? I am without a car until Feb/March so need to be quite local until then as I would like to get more information about getting my boar neutered.
 
Market Harborough Vets

Hi

I am in Market Harborough. The guinea vets nearest to me are in Duston, glenfield and Uppingham. All of which are a good 40mins away.

It is just not possible for me to travel this far, does anyone know of any vets that are nearer? I used vtes4pets in kettering with my cat and was very impressed with them but am not sure how knowledgeable they are about guinea pigs

We were recommended Holly House on Street Lane in Leeds. We had a good experience with James Brookes - he specializes in piggies.
 
Healthlands veterinary hospital, in Winfrith, Wool, Dorset is exceptional ... wonderful place have always treated my pigs well!

Recommendation for south london specialist

Hi all.

Just wondering if anybody has a recommendation for a guinea specialist in South London?

We've been told by our local vet that our guinea needs to have a general anaesthetic to remove a lump he has developed (which we are told is a build up of excessive keratin). We're very worried about him having a GA at all, and would like to seek opinion from a specialist before making a decision. Furthermore, if it is necessary, we'd like to have a specialist do it rather than a general vet who mightnt have a lot of experience with the amount of medicine needed etc.

We'd be really grateful for any input!

Thanks a lot :-)

Don't know where you are in the South but I would recommend Ann O' Meara from Goddard Veterinary Group‎
150 Kingston Road
Surrey KT17 2ET
020 8393 6049.
She is excellent with guinea pigs and listens to owners.
 
Portsmouth - Urgent Request for Recommendation

I can see that Companion Care (Macki) is recommended back in 2006.

Can anyone tell me if that is that is current and/or whether there are any other competent and experienced vets in Portsmouth.

This is an urgent request on behalf of a friend.
 
Can I put forward our vets as a recommended vets. They are

St Georges Veterinary Group, Sedgley Surgery, 43 Dudley Street, Sedgley, West Midlands, DY3 1SA

From the internet "This is an equine surgery treating horses and ponies, we also treat pets. We have a particular interest and experience in the treatment of guinea pigs and rabbits. We treat indigenous wildlife without charge."

http://www.stgeorgesvets.co.uk/

From our experience a lot of the staff keep piggies as well. Although it costs they do have an out of hours emergency service that operates at the main Wolverhampton surgery. We used them for Sunshine at 5 am.
 
I have just learned that I'm being accused of neglecting and lying about the care I took for my guinea pigs before I was forced to give them away.
I feel heartbroken about this and it's brought me to tears to think that I may have done things so horribly wrong without knowing.

I doubt I'll change anyone's mind about me, so I won't go into details. But personally I feel like first I need to warn everyone to never, ever go to St Francis Vets in Brighton.
These vets told me both my piggies were in excellent health, even when they diagnosed a prolapsed eye in one of them. I repeatedly asked them if they were definitely fine, I voiced many concerns and always the reply was that they were in excellent health and no pain whatsoever.

Tonight I've learnt that this has caused the death of one of them. I don't know what other health problems my ex-piggies may have/had, as I'm too scared to keep reading and already far too upset.

I just wanted to do some good to rectify the mistake I made by going to the wrong vet.

Surgeries across Bristol, I recommend Ian, Jenny, Vicky, Sarah Andrew, Leslie or Carol.

I've used them for pig care, they have done conscious dental rasps, conscious X-rays, and treated my pigs for cystitis, gut stasis, ileus etc.

Never needed any kind of surgery done here, but they work closely with Langford veterinary services (Bristol vet school) and great western referrals.
