Vet referral Forum/thread?

[Golden Gate Geckos]

What do you all think about a Forum here (or a stciky thread) dedicated to veterinary listings for herp vets?

 

[PacHerp]

That is a GREAT idea Marcia, I'd love to help with something like that!

 

[T&KBrouse]

I agree. That would be so helpful.:main_yes:

 

[Halley]

I think that, that is a great idea!!!!

 

[Ccrashca069]

I agree that would be a great place to put good reptile vets and phone number ect........

 

[fallen_angel]

I also agree.. Since there are not too many people on this forum from AZ, I can give you the info for the Herp Vet that we use (he is very good, but a checkup alone will cost you $50 with him and I am not sure how expensive that is compared to others..seems kind of high to me). I am out of town/state and don't have the information on me (and can't think of the website) but if you'd like, PM me and I can give Mike a call and get it for you

Inthhink that would be great, so beinniners (ex. Me) know where good vets are.

 

[thekooliest]

Great Idea...I need to find a vet in case my Leo has problemos

 

[dprince]

GREAT idea, Marcia!! :main_yes:

 

[LadyGecko]

Simply Brilliant Marcia !
:main_thumbsup:

That would make things a lot easier for many people and a recommendation (if possible) always makes someone feel better about going to a new doctor-whether it be for themselves or bringing in an animal for care

 

[Halley]

I know there was a site, like this before. If I can find it I will defiantly post it.

Here I have never used this site, but I think that this is the one. Hope that helps some people out. I think it even has something to help people out of America find a vet.

 

[zookie]

that was a really good idea, and lets hope that it can happen!!!

Yes that is an absolutely WONDERFUL idea Marcia! I would love to have someplace at hand, the names and addresses, phone #'s, ect. where I can contact a vet in an emergency. Also, another idea; you can organize it by state(like in the veterinary forum) put AZ vets, CA vets, ND vets, ect. Then one for Out of country or something like that that is for all you guys is Germany, Spain, and stuff.

Jess, a vet I found(can't remember where) here in AZ, for a complete checkup it cost me $97 PER GECKO. I had two at the time. We didn't even know the price or what kind of checkup the vet was doing till she did it and not untill after did we know what we had to pay.

 

[MonteQ's]

I think it would be a great idea! I love my vet, and he's been great, but I find he's out of the office alot. I would feel alot more comfortable selecting a back up vet that another member has had good experiences with...

 

[bellicose]

What should the average cost for a checkup be?
And yes, this sounds like a great idea!

 

[wings2fly]

That sounds like a wonderful idea.

[MonteQ's]

The cost varies, around here it's usually around 35-50 for an exam. Fecals usually 25-35 for float or smear double for both. Other procedures and medications would also have individual fees.

 

[Snowy & Petra de Gecko]

A Great Idea

It might take sometime to get all of the info on the forum but, overall it would be a great resource.:main_thumbsup:

 

[Next Level Geckos]

I agree.
