Rabbit savvy vet - Coventry

Shellypops is in Coventry. She's not on here a lot so probably won't see your thread - try sending her a PM.
 
I dont get to come on RU as often anymore so may have missed what's going on for you, but I use Your Vets in Coventry - have you had a bad experience there? I would just be interested to know. They have an excellent rabbit vet there called Claire and most of the vets are great, but I have had one or two not-so-good consults with some when I haven't been able to see Claire, so I am just interested if you don't mind me asking. :wave:

That's terrible :( I'm very sad that you had that experience. It would definitely put me off too.

Can you remember which vet you saw? (PM me if you don't want to say publicly - or no worries if you can't remember). I just have a little mental note of one or two to avoid.

I should counteract that statement also though by saying its a big vets practice and there are several there that are good, and as I say in particular Claire is excellent. I think they have changed as they have got bigger and not necessarily for the better though....

That said they are better than another practice in Coventry which I would not recommend at all.
 
This experience was 6 years ago and I always believed them. They are vets why would i question it? But now, 6 years later, i find out they were talking cobblers and he should have been done.

I don't know who it was that told me, 6 years is a long time.
But they have moved premises since and probs don't employ that vet anymore do you think?
 
Ah right with you now, sorry I thought you meant it happened recently. Yeah back then it would have been Pet Vacc Clinic. Sorry for all the questions, was just curious.

Yes i was....are they a totally different company now?
you think i can trust them?

thanks for your help
 
As far as I know, yes they are. Your Vets is a chain I think in the West Midlands - they have branches in Nuneaton and Solihull also. When they were Pet Vaccination Clinic it was a very small practice and only 3 or so vets there as far as I could ever tell. Now they seem to have multiple vets. I think Katy Wragg and Katie Lindsey were both at Pet Vacc clinic, but aside from them I believe all the other vets are new?

I've commented on your other thread as I have just seen it, hope it helps. Any more questions feel free to ask. :D
