Call ahead of time to make sure she is in (just ask forthe rabbit vet), there are no appointments, its first come first servebut she is very helpful. They charge $14 for a general checkup, and approximentaly $60.00 for neuter, $100.00 for spay (this isfrom memory). Did a nice job on all 3 of my rabbits, no complicationsand very professional.
 
Dr. Palomar is now with the Animal and Avian Medical Center in their North Olmstead office. She is an excellent rabbit vet asare Dr. Wilson and Dr. Hammond.

Check out their new web site:

Dr. Nancy Deucker is fantastic with rabbits. She treated 3 of my rabbits who lived to old age 13 yrs to 15 yrs. and she has a lot of experience neuturing and spaying older rabbits.
 
Here is my vet:

Dr. Peterson

34 S. Weston Rd.

Troy, OH 45356

(937)-335-8387

website: www.troyanimalhospital.com



She is great with exotics, and handles the majority of the exotics that walk through the door. Dr. Davis, who is also at this practice will see and treat rabbits and some exotics as well.
 
My vet is Dr. Wolf --recommended by the Rabbits USA magazine (and he is really nice and knowledgeable!)

Dr. Wolf
Beavercreek Animal Hospital
3609 Dayton Xenia Rd
Dayton, OH 45432
 
This is my vet. She literally saved Chase's life. This tells a little bit about her:
Dr. Barbara Oglesbee has over 20 years of experience with treating pet birds and exotic pets. In addition to private practice, she serves as an Associate Professor, Avian and Exotic Animal Medicine at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine. At OSU, she previously served as head of the Companion Avian and Exotic Animal clinical services for over 15 years, and has continually taught courses in avian, rabbit and ferret medicine for the past 20 years. She is one of only about 100 veterinarians world-wide who are board-certified in Avian Medicine and Surgery (Diplomate ABVP- Avian Practice), and has been board certified since the specialty began, 13 years ago. She was recently selected by her peers in avian and exotic animal medicine to serve on the planning board for a new specialty board in companion exotic animal medicine, setting the standards for this new specialty. Dr. Oglesbee wrote the recently-published clinical textbook, The 5-Minute Veterinary Consult: Ferret and Rabbit; a reference book used by practicing veterinarians world-wide. She has also authored many book chapters in veterinary textbooks and clinical papers on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of birds, rabbits, ferrets and other small mammals. She has served as Associate Editor of the Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery and lectures extensively at state, national, and international Veterinary meetings.

She is a great vet with a kind heart. Here is her contact information:
Capital Veterinary Referral & Emergency Center
Dr. Oglesbee
5230 Renner Rd
Columbus, Ohio 43228
614-870-0480

Dr. Oglesbee is only there M-F 8-5 but they are open 24-7 and take exotics as emergiences. The first time I went there as an emergency. They took x-rays of Chase and then emailed them to Dr. Oglesbee at home to get her opinion. She is really great. They also take Care Credit with 3 months interest free.
 
Here's the info on my vet. I actually moved, but I couldn't find another vet that I liked as much as this one, so I travel about an hour and a half just to take my bun to his vet...

Niles Veterinary Clinic
1007 Youngstown Warren Road
Niles, Ohio 44446 United States

Phone : (330)652-0055
Fax : (330)652-1932

I prefer Dr. Pagano. It's a very small vet, the staff is amazing, and even the prices are resonable. My Xenos had a horrid ear infection last year, and it caused a really bad head tilt. Poor baby couldn't hop at all, even had a hard time getting in and out of his litter box... I thought for sure I was going to loose him, or have to put him down. But Dr. Pagano manged to get him all cleared up in a very short time (I think it was just a few weeks, though it seemed a lot longer), and now he's happier and healthier then ever. I love this vet.
 
Wanted to say first off: Dr. Oglesbee was amazing with my budgies, but I haven't had the chance to use her for any other critters.

I use Fairfield Pet Hospital in Lancaster, Ohio.
Dr. Craig Dunn is the man who runs the show and has also seen my rats. He's fantastic with small animals and frequently sees rabbits (popular with the 4-H kids) as well as rats, mice, gerbils, guineas and others.
Phone #: 740-653-7977
Address: 1983 E. Main Street
Lancaster, Ohio, 43130
 
This is my vet:
