I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread of cavy competent veterinarians around the world, so people who may live in the same states could possibly find the best vet possible. On your thread you should post: The name of the vet, address, location, and phone number. I think it would be a good idea to post vet that you have had a good experience at and ones that you have not. Here is mine:
First the one I DISLIKE.
Oregon Vetinary Clinic (OVC)
1145 Park Street, Oregon, WI 53575
Telephone: (608) 835-7323 or (608) 251-3487
Facsimile: (608) 835-5055
I went to the vet March 2, 2009 and saw Dr. Craig Schley. My first guinea pig was sick sneezing and had something wrong with his eye. I called and asked if they saw guinea pigs frequently, and they said they do all the time. I was given amoxicillin for his URI and Neobacimyx for his eye infection. Four or 5 days after that his eye infection started to go away and I decided I would look up his medications online and come to see that amoxicillin is toxic to guinea pigs I immediately took him off of the medication, but it was to late he died 4 days after that vet visit. My dad called up yelling at him, and the Doctor said "not many have died on that drug before." I stoped taking my dogs to that vet to and got reimbursed for the vet bill and for the cost of my Baby Bear. R.I.P Bear!!
Second the one that I love!!

I have been to this vet a few times and I see Dr Erika lukas. She took a lot of time explaining about guinea pigs and the medications they can and cant have, their diet, and much more. She is very knowledgeable and a very friendly Doctor. She held Bella and Chloe and petted them and talked to them as if they were hers, she even showed me around the Clinic. Very good vet!!!
The one I plan to get Darwin neutered at
