My vet treats everything from cats and dogs to cows and horses. He is the
only vet here willing to see rodents. He certainly isn't a specialist on
exotics BUT he is very dedicated and willing to learn. When I started
bringing my gerbils to him he started reading up on them. He's a very good
vet and I'm very impressed with him. He also listens, which unfortunately
sometimes seems to be a rare trait in both doctors and veterinarians.
BTW he actually videotaped Pookie's leg amputation for future study!
