NJ Vet Advice

[HerbyBear]

Although there is nothing wrong with my Herby at the moment, I do not have a vet lined up just in case something is to happen. The vet that I had planned on using disappointed me in saying that "it's not necessary to get your rabbit fixed because they don't live long enough anyway," which is know is total bull caca. :foreheadsmack:

Soo.. I am in need of choosing a vet. Especially due to the fact that soon enough he is going to need to get fixed. Here is a list of a few vets nearest me that, according to the sub forum of the Infirmary, are rabbit savvy and reliable.

Dr. Dorothy Farr

Anybody in the area that has an opinion based on personal experience, please let me know which is the best to choose seeing as they're all around the same distance from my home. Also, which has the best cost factor, like how much would a spay/neuter be?

Thanks in advance! :wink

which vet were you going to use?

 

[HerbyBear]

I'd rather not say. I trust them with my two dogs though!

 

[Tiger Lily]

when i muster up the funds i'm going to see about the ocean county animal hospital

 

[HerbyBear]

Heard good things about them?

 

[Tiger Lily]

they are on a lot of rabbit vet lists and it's not too far from me

 

[HerbyBear]

Ah I see. What town is that?

 

[Tiger Lily]

It's in lakewood on route 9

 

[HerbyBear]

Oh true. I was just around there yesterday. Lakewood is slightly farther from me than the ones I posted about. It's funny how there aren't any small animal vets closer than 30minutes from where I am at.

I heard from a few people that Dr. Doolen is excellent.

 

[HerbyBear]

Oh really? He is only 30 minutes south of where I live.

Yeah. That's about an hour away from me. :grumpy:

How far are you from White Plains? I go to Dr. Stanzione who's also very good.
