Hello all,

Haven't posted here in a while... so a big Whisker-Wiggling at all of you
and yours...

Have a quick question... can anyone recommend a reasonably priced, reputable
rattie vet in the Pittsburgh area, preferably south of the city?

Any and all suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Yana

I see one of the doctors at Met Vet West (5309 Campbells Run Road) --
I think it's Dr. Waltman, but I'm not quite sure of the name at the
moment. She has pet rats of her own and a really good "bedside
manner". I've also taken rats to Met Vet South (560 McNeilly Road),
where I've seen two different doctors, who were both well-meaning but
not terribly rat-knowledgable. They were very nice, and willing to
learn, and thought the rats were adorable, though, so on the whole I'd
say it was a positive experience. Met Vet South is where the
Waterfront Petsmart takes their small animals (according to the sign
by the cages; I've no idea if they ever actually get them medical
treatment).

I've also been to one other vet clinic in the area, which was awful
awful awful, but I don't remember the name of it. (Not very helpful,
I know.)

The emergency vet clinic at 882 Butler Street was very nice to us when
we showed up at 3:00 a.m. with a vash gash that needed serious
stitches. The doctor who treated Maia's wound was extremely brusque,
but she seemed to know exactly what she was doing.
