Bunny Vets II

The bunny folk at ravelry have certainly stepped up since the last blog entry. Here are more bunny vet references-- good for those living nearby and those traveling with bun...

Champaign, IL - Dr. Ken Welle at All Creatures Animal Hospital. http://www.allcreaturesah.com/index.htm and If someone is in the Twin Cities, MN area, Dr Peg Frank at Cottage Grove Animal Hospital is just the greatest, IMHO. It might be a bit of a drive to her place in the southeastern suburb but she’s TOTALLY worth it.

then- Madison, WI - The University of Wisconsin Vet Med Teaching Hospital has a great staff for exotics. http://uwveterinarycare.wisc.edu/
In Laytonsville, MD, Dr. Claire Godwin takes care of my buns (including dental for buns whose moms did not get them fitted with braces at an early age). I understand that HRS in the DC metro uses Dr. Gold, who is north of Baltimore (Harwood County(?)).
Then there is Tulsa Oklahoma Forest Trails Animal Hospital - no URL, but phone number is 918-299-8448 Dr. Paul Welch. USA
Another Ravelry member says Tennessee Franklin (pretty much on the outskirts of Nashville) Little House Animal Hospital - Dr. Kunkel. Gosh I love my vet.. she is just wonderful with bunnies. Ginger is my easily spooked little girl, and Dr. Kunkel sat on the floor with Ginger in her lap (so she couldn’t jump down from the exam table) and talked softly to/petted her, and Ginger actually yawned and stretched out. I’ve never seen anything like it, she’s like the Bun Whisperer or something.
Then in Washington we have Kirkland, Eastside Avian and Exotic 13603 100th Avenue NE Kirkland, Washington 98034 +1-888-821-6165. Both Dr. Johnson-Delaney and Dr. Kamaka are awesome and very knowledgeable in rabbits

And in Belgium it is Dr. Inge Thas, Heerweg-Zuid 9 9052 Zwijnaarde (Ghent) Belgium mobile phone : +32-477-296545 phone : +32-9-2728558

us, maine , scarborough
pine point animal hospital , dr. ann barksdale while it doesn’t ask for this–pine point is not an emergency clinic. there are two in the area, and i recommend one much more highly than the other (as i have been to both): maine veterinary referral center. super nice. kept my rabbit alive (although not able to fully diagnose) until i could get to dr ann. they aren’t really well equipped for rabbits, but in an emergency, you take what you can get.

Dr. Domotor’s Animal House – Dr. Sari Kanfer. She works with two rabbit rescues in the area and said that 90-95% of her patients are rabbits (and she owns multiple rabbits herself). While I was there, all the other patients I saw (who were also there to see her either before or after us) were all rabbits. Godewyn’s neuter went so easily with them and his recovery was lightning-fast!

Another California from ravelry California Bay Area (Hayward) Chabot Veterinary Clinic - Dr. Carolynn Harvey

Bunny Vets

Bunny vets are hard to find. I've posted our favorite vet, Dr. Hess at Bond Animal Hospital location is White Plains, New York, in the past and House Rabbit Society has a list of bun vets.

However, I have asked my Ravelry bunny folk you need to be a member to sign on, to share their vets and here is the first. From the Ravelry posts it sounds like these are amazing bunny people. Crestwood in Kentucky

Anyone who reads this and would like to share a great bun vet, please email and I will do my best to create a link. It would be great to find super bunny vets in all 50 states!
