Best DC area ER?

I might need an ER for one of my pigs, but it's been so long I don't know which one to go to. Anyone with recent experience with an ER vet for their pigs in the DC metro area (but preferably MD)? Thanks.

I tried one vet that didn't have a pig vet on staff (not sure if it was that night or in general) and I got put on hold with Pender and then couldn't get back through. He is doing OK but I'm worried so I called our usual vet this AM and got him squeezed in tomorrow. He's eating and active but has become slobbery and I think needs to be seen sooner rather than later.

Hope everything works out for him! Most of the exotics vets in the DC area will send you to Pender for after-hours emergencies (though Pender does not guarantee an exotics focused vet will be on call) and to Stahl for during hours emergencies. Both are in Fairfax, VA.
I'm not aware of any emergency exotics vets in Maryland. My go-to dr recently moved to a small practice in Rockville, and their website recommends Pender and Stahl as well.
