I have another vet in which to recommend. She did brilliant work on Amee's spay. Dr. Kelleher is on limited office hours since she's just had a baby (which delayed Mr. Snuggles's neuter by a month).

Dr. Katz really loves treating exotics, he loves the challenge.
He perfectly neutered Randy in November.
He has treated Cervical Lymphadenitis in my male heard (4 boars). He drained Squirrely's abcesses and knew what antibiotic to give him. He treated the other 3 guys, with CL lumps, with oral antibiotics very successfully.
He is very knowledgable about cavies.
Dr. Katz is very open to all and any printed information I bring to him from Guinealynx or other sites.
I would highly recommend Dr. Katz and am very grateful that he is in our community.

Vanessa sees GP's at her practice and has had a small 'herd' of them herself at one time and has been practicing vet med on exotics (including guinea pigs) since 1991.
Vanessa writes: "Our general focus is on well-pig care and we try as much as possible to have people bring pigs in before problems. I tend to focus on internal medicine as well. Surgery is not performed as much mainly because the majority of people who bring in pigs only when they are sick enough to notice, are generally not anticipating the financial investment that more intensive therapy like surgery entails (unfortunately the pet stores sell pigs as low-maintenance pets that 'never have to see the vet'), so we end up with them declining surgery and wishing palliative care, medical therapy (such as attempts to deal with ovarian cysts with hormones rather than spaying). I have performed several cystotomies, abdominal tumor removals, and several urethral endoscopic procedures trying to track down a stone or bladder/ urethral polyps. We do end up neutering quite a number, and doing a lot of dental procedures due to improper diet (low fiber, low vitamin C).
"The hospital I have been in for the last year just used to be birds so the mammals are only now starting to trickle in. My hospital in Virginia before, used to see several pigs per week as well as a lot of other rodents and lots of rabbits.
"I used to breed pigs as a young veterinary student. I am proud to say I may have been the instigator for Oxbow to create Critical Care, by giving the person who did all the work to put it together, the idea that this product was needed for the small herbivore. We are a proud distributor of Oxbow products."
