Members' Recommended Vets

After Rebel's castration, if you're looking for a cavy savvy vet in West Cumbria, you can't get better than Millcroft surgery. I can't sing their praises highly enough. If anyone is after getting their boys done, their standard of work is excellent and Vicki Temple is a fantastic exotics vet. ;)

Guinea pig vet in Norfolk

I would like to get my 3 year old boar castrated and try bonding him with my sow. Please can anyone recommend a vet in Norfolk who is experienced at guinea pig castration?
Many thanks!
Sophie
 
Does anyone know a vet near reading that looks at back teeth without general anethetic because my piggie had one last week but our vet had to stop filing when an abcess burst and my piggie still can't eat!?
 
I'm in the East midlands, Derby, and I was asking this question too after an unhappy experience with my local vets. I contacted Avalon Guinea Pig Rescue (Nottingham) and was told they use: James and John at Dove Vets, Derby Road, Stapleford. Tel:0115 9399010. Apparently, they know all about piggies, and care about them too - worth a try. xx

It may be a bit far for you, but All Creatures Healthcare north of Norwich were brilliannt and have tried to get all their staff extra training and qualifications for exotics. They sorted BrownPigs abscess after Chapelfield vets fobbed me off with a nurse appointment, and it was clear ACH knew what they were doing in terms of handling/ treating small piggums.

I know you replied to someone else, but thank you for this information. We live in Bury St Edmunds - if anyone knows anyone close (Ipswich/Colchester/Thetford/Cambridge etc) then let me know, but I will store these details in case we need to use them for our piggies :)

Very cavy savvy.
 
Sandhole vets in Snodland comes highly recommended by me! I was sent there as a referral by my own vet. My poor girlie piggie has had two stones removed since October. This is their website - http://www.sandholevets.com/

Monica and Kate are the cavy savy crew. I have seen Monica twice who has flushed stones from my Ginnie's kidney and also urether. This Saturday I shall be seeing Kate for a post op check and to chat about Ginnie's cystic ovaries. Wish us luck xx
 
I don't know if this has been suggested but I have been going to the Drybridge Veterinary Clinic in Monmouth for many years, I know it's a bit of a drive from here in Abergavenny, but believe me it's worth it, they are absolutely wonderful!

(I had to stop going to my 2 local vets, one for neglect on a cat my sister had, and the other vets are more interested in money than the actual welfare of the animal, and I was recommended Drybridge. )

Their website: http://www.drybridgevets.co.uk/
Their Phone number: 01600 712206

If you are in this area, please go check them out, you won't regret it I promise!
 
Hi, I wonder if anyone can recommend a vets around or within reasonable driving distance of the Sandwell area of the west midlands? Previously used one which has treated Minnie (would estimate she is now about age 5) 3x this year with baytril for recurring wheezing problems. Am keeping heating up, have put extra hay in pig loos, she is eating and gently nipping ok as usual but her wheezing is so horrible to hear and her fur is on/off fluffed up. Would really like to try another vets as feel all the normal one will do is suggest a further course of the same antibiotic which doesn't seem to be doing anything and do not want her to be in pain or struggling to breathe.
Any suggestions? Thanks :-)
 
Forgot to say am going to try ringing manor vets today, as their site states they deal with exotic species and indicates guinea pigs are one of these. Maybe someone here has used them and can advise if they feel able to do a more thorough check up than my normal vets?

*cannot figure out how to use private messaging to ask people previously requesting for this area earlier in thread*
 
Ask to see Marie at Manor vets, as recommended by one of the rescues in the area.
