there are differentr levels of accreditation....
so check what level the vets is accredited too.
my vets is a small animal hospital, and is accredited to the highest (three i think) level.
they've treated my buns, my rodents,and my birds,and i've always found them very good...however the emergency vets that use their premises scare me - have never actually used them, but they wanted to gas my cockatiel to remove a blood feather (call me a coward but teh thought of havinga bird gased scares me!!!!!) my vet had doen one pereviously without gasing, and we have done two this way also (this being the second one - as when i asked had the vet doen it before she said "well on otehr animals" and when i asked about the risks he said "everything has risks"...so i decided i'd rather be brave and remove it myself again!!!!!)
