good vets in GTA

[lizo72]

I am having trouble finding a cavy-savy vet at the moment. There was one that I thought that looks at exotic pets, but it turns out they don't Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!!!!!

I just recently adopted two piggies from the Toronto Animal shelter and realized they had lice so I took them to this exotic vet in Scarborough and they were very nice and knowledgeable there. However not cheap. The cost for consultation was $70/cavy. But they were nice enough not to charge me for the second piggie. We're actually going back today for their second injection. I'll PM you the name of the hospital.

They are great people and know a lot of stuff about pigs and any other animal. I'm not sure about prices. If you call them they will be more than happy to answer you questions about prices on the phone.

There are two grea vets I have used,one is Riverdale animal hospital,at Jones and Danforth 416-465-4655, and Beaches animal hospital on Queen st, by Victoria park,416-690-4040. I used Riverdale for years,they are great. But I switched last year to the Beaches because they give a 50% discount to rescues, and I foster dogs, so go there now for the discount for the recue, the Doctors here are awsome too, and they are open 7 days a week until 10 pm, but are more expensive than Riverdale. Riverdale is pretty reasonable. Dr Drabant is the best there.

For East side GTA-ers (Durham/Oshawa), a trip to Bowmanville is worth your while. Bowmanville Vet Clinic (by the zoo) at 2826 King St E, Bowmanville - 905 623 4431 is well worth a visit. The only vet in Durham with professed knowledge of Cavies (others will see your piggy, but when pressed will admit not much experience if any). They will also take urgent patients on spec with no appointment even when booked out, ready for you when you get there if you call ahead.

Callbeck animal hospital in Oshawa is quite good as well. they've just acquired an exotics vet.

How much is the average checkup? I'd like to get my girls checked out (they seem healthy but you never know) but I know DH will argue about it! I'm just concerned since I've noticed them both itching a little bit.

I have used "The Links Road" for a few years now. They are located around Yonge and York Mills.

They are a bit on the pricier side, but its close to me so i have been going to them. They are pretty knowledgeable but just on the pricey side.

Recently i have been visiting

Hi I would like the name of that vet to in scarborough thanks.

I am in the east end of Toronto (Greenwood/Gerrard) and wondering about 1) a good regular vet in this area and 2) where you would take your cavy for 24 hour emergency care.

I want to ensure we know where to take the cavies BEFORE something happens versus scrambling to figure out where to take them when something happens.

Also do you take them for regular "check-ups"?
