HELLO :wave:! I'm in Droitwich too! I have been looking for a good one too. I went to Lowesmoor House in Worcs on Rainbow Hill today, the vet was not too bad but I wouldn't say I recommend him. He was recommended by someone on here as being good and I'd say he's a good option over someone who's totally clueless.
Wilson Walker and Barnby is where I used to take my hammy and cat, they were always good but I am not sure how good they are with buns.
Townsend I wouldn't recommend - the receptionist was very rude when I asked about using other injections other than cylap, and was very dismissive. The fact that they claim to be knowledgeable about buns but continue to use cylap despite my explanation of why seems to indicate they aren't that knowledgeable...
MacArthur Barstow and Gibbs - my dad uses them and I just rang regarding which VHD injection they use and there is a 'small animal team', which seems promising, and the receptionist was lovely and helpful.
Finallyyyy! I had a thread about this a few weeks ago and some members recommended certain vets in Pershore and Evesham, here's the link http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?t=289234. I wanted to check out the Worcester one before I went to Pershore or Evesham, so I did but like I said I wouldn't necessarily recommend him
Hope this helps :shock:

Wilson Walker and Barnby don't exist anymore, they're part of Townsend now. I spoke to the head vet today about the VHD injection and he said they're going to use anivac from now on but they still have 5 cylaps to use. He seemed knowledgeable about buns from the brief convo I had with him, but I won't use him until he doesn't use cylap. I did mention I knew a few others in the surrounding area with rabbits that were also finding it hard to find somewhere who doesn't use cylap, he said he'd be happy to order some in if I knew another couple of buns who needed vaccinating and wanted anivac, not sure when your buns are due their boosters for VHD?
MacArthur Barstow and Gibbs got back to me and they've ordered in 10 anivacs, so I'll be making my appointment for a week and a half with them, and I'll let you know how they are
