I recently moved to the Portland area and I currently have four rats. I have a list of recommended vets from MRR, the rat adoption agency I use, but I'm looking for anyone who has particularly good/bad experiences with vets in the area. I took one of my rats to Yarmouth vet and though they advertise themselves as taking care of rats, I wasn't impressed with the vet and I don't think he knew very much about rats. (I also don't like their policy of letting dog and cat owners in with the animal being euthanized, but not rat owners... a definite second class citizen vibe there. One of my rats is three years old and in poor health, and so I brought him in for a physical exam, so if he were to take a sudden turn towards ill health I wouldn't have to bring him to an emergency hospital.) I don't mind driving a bit for a good vet.
