davis_square | Anybody taken their bunny or other exotic to VCA Everett? (Reply)

Posted to Davis Square, because I've never heard of any super bun-knowledgeable vets in Somerville. Presumably other folks in the area have to transport their bunnies outside Somerville lines as well.

Has anybody taken their rabbit to VCA Everett? Or perhaps folks have experiences taking other exotics there?

I usually take my rabbit to VCA Wakefield, but it is indeed a bit of a haul from Somerville in rush hour traffic. I've continued to go there because the staff are experts on bunnies and treat Thistle with the upmost care. And the vets have in the past allowed me some latitude in decision making re x-rays adn other procedures due to financial constraints, and bring her back if the condition worsens. In other words, I'm firmly convinced that VCA Wakefield isn't trying to rip me off and they have the best interests of my rabbit in mind.

Thistle needs to go to the vet because one of her front teeth broke off last week and I'm rather sure that she needs to have all the incisors ground down to prevent a nasty maloccusion situation. I'm hesitant to take her to a vet not endorsed by the House Rabbit Network, but then again, I took my last bunny to about 5 other docs on the list when she was ailing, and felt dissatisfied with all of them. This includes the vet facilities at the SPCA. (They are great with emergencies, but not so hot when an exotic needs routine care.) And VCA Everett does have vets who treat exotics on staff.

Mostly, it is very much frowned upon at my job to not be present 9 - 5:30, and I'd like to find a vet that can care for Thistle without me having to drive up to the North Shore.
