I went to this vet because both of my boars had visible lice. He did what seemed to be a thorough examination and was very friendly through the whole thing. However, the diet advice he gave me was a little off and he kept using the terms "lice" and "mites" interchangeably, which was rather confusing, among a couple other little things. I was also surprised at the bill, as I told the vet tech I scheduled the appointment with that I was pretty sure they had lice, and they quoted me with a price that was almost $100 less than the final bill. I realize that most vets probably do this, but it was still frustrating. Overall he seemed like he knew quite a bit more about guinea pigs than the average vet, but less than I would prefer.

Also, he is very allergic to guinea pigs, so he wears a mask and gloves when working with them. When we walked in, we were immediately given an exam room to wait in while we filled out paperwork so he wouldn't chance being near them when he wasn't wearing the mask. (As in: *walk in* "Are those the guinea pigs? Quick, follow me in here RIGHT NOW!" as the tech speed-walked to the room)

OK so I am incredibly confused. As I have been out of the Guinea/Cavy circle for a while and recented moved, I have adopted 2 beautiful boy Cavy's that were left outside the Rescue in a box overnight. Although the Vet at the Rescue did give them a quick checkup I would like to find a Vet who is good with small animals. Thought I hit the jackpot with this one as he also has boarding available. Hmmm after reading the profile I am throughly confused. He will see Guinea's but can not board them as he is allergic. How does that even make sense? So I am moving on past this one. Thought you should know. (Had to guess at the rating since you can't post without rating)
