YES--Dr. King in South County --St. Louis==great with rat surgeries and won't charge an arm and a leg!  Cares very much and also will listen if you happen to know what meds you actually need as opposed to what he suggests (if you have resources like from here or the rat med guide).  Watson Road Veterinary Clinic--Dr. Jay King.  Like a spay for $40-$45.  Excellent at mammary tumor removals, too.  Cares about ratties.  Would have emailed you, but you didn't have your email listed (and I don't know how to PM on here).

Does anyone know of where I can find a vet in Knoxville, TN or closer to Williamsburg, KY? I've searched the Vet Directory and the suggested vet place, but I can't find one in Knoxville. I have a vet in Lexington but I'm closer to Knoxville since there isn't a vet place around here that takes care of rats.

I'm looking for a vet in Los Angeles to neuter to males.  Does anyone have someone good they can recommend?

Hello, I'm looking for a vet in the Syracuse NY area...There is one in clay, but the vet that treats rats is out on vacation, and Tallulah's developing  a tumor that I want to have removed, as soon as possible.  I also know of one in Watertown, NY, but I have no way to get anywhere other than Syracuse, NY.  I would prefer one that has reasonable prices, but right now, I just really want to get 'LuLu into a vetHopefully, it's not going cost an arm and a leg...Anyone have any recommendations?

I'm sorry I am not familiar with that area, but maybe you can try calling one of the vets on the link below and see if they have any recommendations:

I'll be getting my boys around December 17th. I'm currently in Fort Collins, CO. Home to the #2 vet school in the country... There's got to be a rat vet somewhere near me, but I've looked and looked and can't seem to find one! I'll be moving to north Loveland just before I get the rats, so anything in Loveland or Fort Collins would be preferable. I can't afford to drive much farther than that...
Thank you so much for any help <3

We have several members in the Rochester area, but they may not read this thread regularly.  I suggest you put a new post in the Rat Care Corner with the subject line "Need vet in Rochester, NY", and you may get a faster response.  Good luck!

Any vets in southern Onatrio?

Canada  Duuhh sorry

I have a suggestion/recommendation for a vet in

FORT WORTH, TEXAS


The last time I was at my dog/cat vet, I asked if they treated rats.  They gave me a flyer to a vet a few miles away who specializes in exotics.  I have not yet been there, but I am planning on inquiring about neuters for my guys.  One caveat: The flyer states that the vet raises 4-H and FFA meat pen rabbits.  Being a vegan and animal welfare activist, I don't agree with this, but if he's the only exotics vet around then I'll just have to swallow my pride.

Here is the info and website....

Ridglea West Animal Hospital
Dr. Craig Verwers, D.V.M.
4404 Southwest Blvd.
Fort Worth,TX 76116
817-763-0261
www.ridgleawest.com

Hours:
MWThF 7:00a - 6:00p
Tuesdays: 8:00a - Noon
Saturdays 8:00a - 1:00p


He is located in the Ridglea section (far southwest Fort Worth) on Southwest Blvd/Alta Mere Dr/Route 183, between I-20 and I-30.  I'm sorry, but he is not convenient to Dallas or suburbs further east.


UPDATE:
I stopped in this vet office this afternoon to inquire about pricing.  I asked about rat spays and neuters, and here is the exact procedure estimate I was given:

Neuter
Exotics Exam.....$76
Neuter.............$78
New Record (?)....$3
Metacam (pain)..$44 (optional)
Penicillin............$11 (optional)


Total for Rat Neuter (including optional meds)  $212



Spay
Exotics Exam.....$76
Spay...............$181
New Record (?)....$3
Metacam (pain)..$44 (optional)
Penicillin............$20 (optional)


Total for Rat Spay (including optional meds)  $324


This is the first time I've taken/inquired about rat or exotics veterinary care, but are they all this pricey?  I respect vets and the schooling and experience they have, but this estimate is much higher than I ever imagined it would cost.

Does anyone know a good Vet for Ratties in the Bay Area, preferably near Fremont, though Im willing to drive a bit.   I moved here from Detroit a few years back and havent found a good one yet.  One of my girls just started to get the beginning signs of a tumor and I'm looking for a good place people trust.

(Can ya please email me:  mailfoxes aT gmail DoT com)

East Hills Veterinary Hospital in Antioch ca. Sees rats and they are good. Sneezing can be a sign of many things, start of by doing a bedding change. I prefer Aspen for the younger rats and Carefresh for older geriatric rats. (prevents bed sores) Some bedding cause Upper Respiratory infections. After a bedding change see if he is an area with drafts, a cold rat is a sick unhappy rat. try using old blankets to cover cages from top to bottom, your rat will take pieces of the blankets to make him or her much warmer and more confortable. Echanasia is also very very very good immune response its a great anti tumor agent and boosts natural immunity to colds and the sniffles. Just add a few drops to there water. and you will know the difference. Also yogurt with live cultures are wonderful (use about 1/2 tsp.) they build nice gastrointestinal defenses and make a rat very happy (Activia etc.) My rat Emilio has been on this system for his now 4 1/2 years of life. And remember EPSOM Salts work wonders for sore feet, bumble foot,  bed sores, abscesses. Use 1/2 cut Epsom salt to 1 1/2 cup of warm water, soak 2 times a day for about a week.
