So after Virgo's ear infection, and a couple of medical scares (which turned out to be me reading WAY too much into things, and being inexperienced), I realize that I need to get on top of finding a vet.
The problem is that I don't have a car, and would need the vet to be within Guelph, preferably on/close to a bus route for appointments, but I would of course take a taxi for emergencies. I would want a vet that is knowledgeable and qualified in all/most areas of rat care (surgery/diagnosis/dosages/etc), and have good bedside manner for both my babies, and myself. Having a 24/7 emergency number and overnight care is pretty much essential, and if they divert to another vet when they are closed/on vacation/etc, that other vet would need to be in Guelph as well, for obvious reasons. Pricing is also kind of an issue. I have enough money to cover pretty much any bill, but I would much rather my savings go towards future endeavors (schooling, etc) than expensive vets.
I know there are quite a few on this forum from the area, and if anyone could share their experiences (good or bad), or make any recommendations for a vet office and/or a specific vet, that would be awesome!
Thanks guys
