Islandview Veterinary Clinic: rat-friendly staff, some evg hours. They had to stop the Saturday hours to give their vets a better family life.
This is a wonderful vet clinic. The vets are compassionate and knowledgeable and they have a loyal clientele throughout the greater Fredericton area. The other staff are great, too, and many of them like rats. **They have a digital X-ray machine which gives really great images on the computer.
Dr. Scott Stewart (likes rats, smart guy who is always keen to learn new things, takes great care of my ratties and SQ's ratties, skilled surgeon, did tricky operation to remove my Tia's eye) He now has a lot of experience with spays and neuters, too. For those who have cats, he has a special knack for getting pills down the hatch of even the most reluctant cat!
and
Dr. Geoff Hampton, who is the co-owner of the practice with his wife. He is a highly-respected vet surgeon; experienced with rat spays & neuters; good with rats, saved the life of Stella & her sisters by diagnosing their bladder infection.
Dr. Julie Bjerkelund was so kind on the night that I had to take Melissa in to be pts; she did a great job of explaining the medical situation, helping me & my sister feel comfortable with my decision, and giving Melissa a peaceful death.
