Looking For A Vet Familiar With Shar Peis

[LostBoy]

Hi guys!

Was wondering if you have any knowledge or can suggest me a VET around Melbourne metro area who is familiar with handling shar peis' health? My young Hiro comes from S.A so the breeder couldn't advise me. She did ask around and found one in Pakenham which is too far for me :rolleyes:

Thanks heaps!

I would talk to the Glen Eira Vet where you are doing puppy school. They are excellent and although they may not 'specialise' in Pei's, myself and many clients use and love them!

Hi Tam! I usually go to South Melbourne Vet just across Petstock. He's a good vet and he's been handling some of my friends' dogs since they were bubs, but I was thinking if I should get a second opinion in regards to the vet's remarks which suggested that Hiro's eyelids would need to undergo surgery but will decide the vet's final prognosis when Hiro's in for his 3rd vacc next month. I have discussed the eye issue with some DOLers & my breeder. Majority of them agree that surgery in most cases is not required especially when the dog is yet to be 1 year old or older. So I'm thinking, perhaps I need to get another professional advice who is familiar with handling shar peis. Nevertheless, I will put Glen Eira Vet into consideration.

On another issue, I was reading the notes you gave me the other day. Couldn't find anything about "loading" though. Unless the notes you handed out in class have additional notes than the one you sent to my email perhaps?

See you this Saturday. :rolleyes:
