Here is my vet

Randall Hickman
Animal Medical Center
201 S. Jordan Mckinney, TX 75070
972-542-8675
We've been going to himfor over 6 years, but I've only had my bun for almost 2 years now. He's very reasonable $35 office visit and very good with rabbits (and rats). Sometimes he has rabbits for adoption at his office.

I have a wonderful vet. The Alamo Heights Pet Clinic has been so good to me and Loki. They are very friendly and are great animal lovers.

Both are excellent with rabbits.

My new rabbitvet:

Dr. Marilyn Mitchell
Small Animal Wellness Center
1400 N. Locust St.
Denton, TX 76201
940-382-1600
http://www.smallanimalwellness.com/index.htm

She is very gentle w/my rabbits & gives you a detailed printout of recommendations for your rabbit. Good prices too

Any good ones in the fort worth area? Dallas and McKinney would be a rather long journey for our bunnies

Well my vet I use on the island. I am growing confidence in him everytime I see him.

Galveston Veterinary Clinic
Dr. Richard Henderson
2108 61st
galveston,TX 77551

(409)744-5355

He is the only exoctic vet I have found this side south of pasadena.   Which is a hour away from me. 

This vet nuetered Storm and has treated him a few times at first I was very warry. But he seems to know his stuff.

There are three vets at this office so you have to make sure to ask for Dr. Henderson. He treats regular pets also he treats all three of my gang

The prices at this vet are very good also.   There office visit is steep but they make up for it in there test being very lowed priced.  And there meds.  

And he gives you a print out of sugestions that need to be done and they are very personal

Saint Francis of Assisi
Dr. Michael Ruiz
8615 Potranco Road
San Antonio, TX
210-509-8500
www.mysavet.com

Dr. Ruiz is amazing. He is very knowledgeable and is always there to answer any questions or concerns I may have.

I wanted to note that my vet is now Dr. Todd Riggan (he is on the list.) He is really good. Where other vets failed with my rabbit he has succeeded.

my bunnies' vet:

Castle-West Animal Hospital
Dr. McGeehee
11105 West Ave
San Antonio, TX
(210) 344-8259

Dr. McGeehee spayed my two girls this week and it went perfectly - no problems at all and their wounds looked clean and like they were healing very well from the very first day.

Dr. Taylor
Dr. Morales
Prestonwood Animal Clinic
13720 Schroeder Rd
Houston, TX 77070
(281)890-1960

They have pretty reasonable prices and the doctors are super nice and help my mom and I with all our weird rabbit cases
