Vet How far do you drive & how soon does your vet see your piggies?

We've been calling around this morning trying to find a vet to see our remaining guinea pig. Our family vet will see him, but he doesn't have any training in cavies. We found one that will see him, but the earliest appointment is Friday, and he's nearly an hour and a half away (and that's assuming the traffic is good, but we have to pass through New Orleans to get there, so that's always very iffy). He is in Metairie. We found another vet who specializes in exotics (in Mandeville, about an hour away), and they actually made us an appointment for this afternoon, but then called back & the vet won't be in this week. They gave us the number for another vet who would see him in Mandeville, but we don't really know anything about this vet.
How far do you typically drive to your piggy vet, and when you call for an appointment, how long is it before your piggy can be seen? I've got to go to work soon, and I am just tired and sad and frustrated right now.
