Title: A decent goat vet? Herefordshire / Worcestershire
Post by: Tree Farmer on May 10, 2012, 04:17:02 pm

There is nothing wrong with my trio but I am going to need a vet at some point for sure and whilst I have one option (recommended by local goat keeper, although not that enthusiastically) I just thought it would be worth asking if anyone on here knows a decent vet in my area?

North Herefordshire / South Worcestershire  (Gloucestershire or Welsh Borders a possible)

I have been reading all the health probs and disbudding issues (Roxy's near miss with the anaesthetic!) and really would love to find a vet I trust.

Incidentally I travel a long way to take my rabbit to a decent rabbit vet - and it's a world apart from the bog standard quick examination and antibiotic injection. Guess it's not that easy with a goat though - call outs etc.

Thanks for any help...

Thank you Plums! Small world - that's the practice with the excellent rabbit vet I mentioned!
