I want a new vet, Oscar not right

Oscar can't get comfy, he keeps going behind his chair and scratching the carpet then he comes out and goes back in again, scratches and so on. He keeps scratching too and it seems to be mostly at his ears, I've looked all over him and can't see anything on him like fleas or flea dirt like last time, but obviously I can't see in his ears.

I think it's time for a new vet, the ones we use just seem to accept that he's an old man (9.5years) and that he will obviously have certain health problems, he is still having problems with runny eyes, I bathe them every day but it's just not getting better.
I am going to try ringing round for a new vet as I feel as though he need somebody new to look at him.
The vet I currently use have a fantastic reputation but I keep getting to see the same girl and I think it's time for a change.

What questions should I ask on the phone so that I know they are bunny savvy?
 
I never think that a list of questions is particularly helpful. I'm a serial vet tryer-outer and the questions route has never really helped me anyway. Better to go with a recommendation and then your gut feeling when you try them out, I find.

Good luck!
 
Thanks, I have found a new vet which is closer to home and they have a vet there who has an interest in exotics, not specialist but I think I will give them a ring, it's worth a try for a second opinion.
