FLORIDA -- Pompano Beach

Wow! I just took two of my pigs to Dr. Rupp this week.

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).

I apologize if this isn't the place for it, but a note about Dr. Kelleher (who I think it a great person excellent bunny vet - she is an integral part of the Miami House Rabbit Society).

When I lived in the area I took guinea pig family who had just been relinquished to me in to see her. They consisted of mom, dad, and five 3 week old babies. I told her they babies were separated by sexes as of that time, and asked her to order Cavy Permormance for me. She told me to make sure I put the baby boys back in with mom a few times a day until they were 8 weeks old because they still needed to nurse (which I did not do), and she told me they didn't need Cavy Performance, though I could feed it if Iwanted to (which I did). She also recommended that I have the sow spayed. I did have boar neutered there and she did a terrific job.

So, I think she may be thinking pigs are a little more similar to bunnies then they actually are.

Here is the website, BTW. http://www.exoticanimalcare.com/

PENNSYLVANIA-PHILADELPHIA AREA

Gloria J. Goodman, VMD
Avian and Exotic Animal Medical Center
3000 Concord Road
Aston, PA 19014
610-494-2811

Dr. Goodman has been great with our guinea pigs, and we've been seeing her for 3 years. She treats only birds, reptiles and small mammals, and we see many regular guinea pig patients there. They also offer boarding. Unfortunately, her office is not open on weekends, but sometimes phone messages will be checked by someone on staff that comes in on weekends for boarding animals. One of our pigs had a hay poke eye injury over the weekend, and after hearing our message Dr. Goodman was able to give us the appropriate antibiotics to treat her eye until our appointment. If emergencies are brought in during regular hours she sees them first.
She's very thorough with her regular exams. She knows how to check molars under anasthesia, and she also performed a neuter on our boar, and did a very good job. She's also open to answering a lot of questions from curious pig parents, and she and two of her current techs have a great bedside manner. They also carry Oxbow products.

I've been up there twice now with Sniper to have his teeth done. When I called to book the appointment I asked to speak to a vet first so I could ask questions. Dr Regan very kindly called me back and answered all my questions for me. When I went the first time I saw Dr Lane and the second time, Dr Dawson. They are both very good vets. Everyone in the office is very friendly and helpful. I searched from an exotics vet for a bit and this one was highly recommended by 3 of my local vets.

Julie Miller is their small exotic animals vet, and she is very good with them. She answers questions, and when she doesn't know something, she offers to research it for you. I have also heard great praise for the clinics' other vets from cat and dog owners. There is always someone on call.

MASSACHUSETTS - Worcester

Westside Animal Clinic
262 Mill Street
Worcester, MA
508-756-4411

Deb Klingenger, DVM

Fairly knowledgeable, piggie friendly vet.
I wanted them treated for mites without a skin scraping. She was hesitant and asked why. I told her that I understook skin scrapings are very painful and often inconclusive. She agreeed with me and went ahead and treated. They also got a thorough check-up, weighed, nails clipped, and Horace's bottom teeth were trimmed. All for a grand total of $45.00.
There were some things I knew that she didn't and vice versa. She seemed willing to listen and learn.

NEW YORK - MANHATTAN (UPPER WEST SIDE)

Dr. Anthony Pilny
Center for Avian and Exotic Medicine

http://www.avianandexoticvets.com/avianvets.html

Opening in December 2004, but in the meantime...

"During construction of our state of the art facility, we will be available to make housecalls or to see appointments at Animal General, 558 Columbus avenue @ 87th street. Call us at 212-501-8750 with questions or to make appointments."

I took Belle to see Dr. Pilny at Animal Medical Center New York when she had her weird eye thing going on. He was very thorough, had an excellent bedside manner. Later, when Florence was having her lymph troubles, he was willing to consult at length via email and had we been able to bring her in to see him (no small feat since we live in central NJ and I was working in midtown), he would have fitted her into his schedule. Sadly, we weren't able to do that, but he provided excellent information and advice during her illness.

CALIFORNIA -- San Diego

Dr. Todd Cecil
Avian and Exotic Animal Hospital
2317 Hotel Circle, South, Suite C
San Diego, CA 92108

Dr. Cecil performed bladder stone surgery on my piggy Oreo back in June. He saw Oreo in the early afternoon and by late afternoon that same day Oreo was having surgery as the doctor knew Oreo was in a lot of pain. Currently Dr. Cecil is working with me to figure out Oreo's soft poo problem. We may finally be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

I really like Dr. Cecil - he knows a lot about piggies.

Nancy
