Well, when my girlies had their URI I took them to Dr Sabah Mobarak at the Blackburn Animal Hospital in east Ottawa. I was completely unimpressed with the way he handled Ellie and Rosie. He was rough, did nothing to make them feel safe or comfortable and he even a scruffed them while force feeding them their first dose. Ellie was so petrified she jumped into my coat and hid, shaking like a leaf. When I put her back into her little travel box, she dug right under the bedding and hid like her life depended on it.
My total bill for the exam, medication and a $15 bag of Oxbow rat food was just over $280.00. This morning I spoke with Anita of OPRat Rescue and she also had the same feelings about this vet. He charges over $100 to put rats to sleep and he even misdiagnosed a tumor as an abscess and charged her EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS. She also said she knows many people who have been ripped off by this vet and OPRat Rescue does not use or recommend him anymore. He is just in it for the money and has very little concern for the comfort of our fur babies. Please avoid this vet!
