We used to live in that area and wouldn't recommend any vets that I encountered as being rabbit savvy.
However, if you can make it as far as Cambridge, Cambridge Veterinary Group are fantastic. Here is a link to the practice:-

Hope this is useful.

I see Charles or Katherine at Orwell Vets, but the majority of the rest have been more than good with mine. http://www.orwellvets.co.uk/
We had a referral to All Creatures in Norwich for Autumn, who were also excellent. http://www.allcreatureshealthcare.co.uk/

Sorry I hadnt seen this before, what side of bury? If you get Gavin at haughley/thurston vets he's good, not too trusting of the others although theyre fine for routine stuff. I have the details if you need. Ive used gavin for years he's great with the bunnies and piggles and dogs. Theres some lovely nurse/reception staff there too that are incredibly helpful.

Thats both branches. Where abouts are you? actually in bury? Im in Walsham Le Willows so kind of equal distance to either branch from mine.

I used Swayne and Partners when I was in Bury and use the Newmarket branch now.
They were extremely good there...especially when my bun was attacked by a dog and needed to be completely stitched together. I'm sure she's still there now.
Call and talk to them. :wave:
I spoke to a vet from there at the south suffolk show (most people I know use them for horses) and tbh, the vet scared me with how little she knew about rabbits and didnt even know what was going on with the combined vacc, so I steered well clear. Ive had mixed reviews from their service for horses too. Sometimes you get someone amazing, sometimes they just havent a clue.

I hadn't even heard about a combined jab from them. Falon just had her Myxi last week and is due her VHD next week. We are on one myxi a year each and VHD every six months.

Goodness, that's not good!! I completely agree, that'd shake my confidence majorly! I haven't been there, apart from with my mum's cats, for about 4 years so I suppose they've changed. Also we found that you have to ask for specific vets, otherwise the receptionists will just give you an appointment with whoever's free.
The Newmarket branch has always been wonderful for me since I've been with them with the buns and the dogs. It might be too far though!

My friend who's just finishing her penultimate year of training to be a vet. It's shocking how little they learn about rabbits unless they take specific training in exotics. I'd steer clear of ANY vet that hadn't trained to be an exotics vet!
