angelsophie Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) Hi guys - needing some help or recommendations. I want a really good vet in newcastle - I live in Lambton so reasonable local would be good. I have always used the RSPCA vet facilities and have had mostly all very positive experiences. Seriously I have had amazing veterinary service from them but I would like to start with a new vet simply because I will be able to have a constant vet. When Soph got ill we saw 4 different vets in a week - all with different inital opinions and plans. They all agreed in the end and our final vet was simply incredible - if she were in private practice I would just go where she was. I have heard Hamilton is ok?????

chuckie500 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I go to Hamilton Vets. They are open 7 days with fairly long hours so if something is wrong I don't feel bad about getting an appt. They have about 4 vets. I know a couple of people that go them and find them good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigsaw Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I've used the Hamilton vets in the past for boarding and they always treated my oldie very well. I haven't actually used them as a vet but know people who have and they always had good things to say about them. I've also used the vets at Merewether (opp Mary Ellen pub) several years ago for specialist services and they were good in there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionaC Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) Yeah we use the Hamilton Vet Clinic for both Mort and Talin - have boarded both there as well (although Mort only a single overnight) ... we did puppy pre-school through them as well .... have had nothing but positive outcomes from all our interactions with them ..... plus they are close (we live 5 minutes down the road) Edited June 2, 2009 by FionaC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi can i have some more information about this specialist vet you are talking about? My girl suffers from pancreatitias and i think it is time she sees someone who may be more specialised!

angelsophie Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 We went to Hamilton today for vaccinaions and they were great Really nice only one minor hiccup when they asked me what my lovely pedigreed Hav was crossed with Guess thats what happens when you have a rarer breed. Thanks everyone for the lovely advice I did my school work experience at Merewether vet clinic way back in high school lol Bec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um this is stretching the memory as it was about 10 years ago I've just realised! All I can come up with is Chris ??? dredging the memory. He came up from Sydney about once a week. My dog had presented with a very strange problem where his front legs and back legs worked at different tempos which had the local vets stumped. Front legs went at normal speed and back legs in slow motion or vice versa, quite bizarre to watch. Eventually diagnosed as possibly meningitis and he responded to a long course of cortisone. Ring them and see if they can help you out. Things may have changed though - I didn't really think about how long ago it was - how time flies.

Gemelo Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) We just completed puppy preschool with Nicole from Lambton vet, Thought it was great, we're more than likely changing clinics to lambton from now on (and it was a bonus because they actually knew what my Aussie shepherd puppy was!) Goodluck with getting some answers for Lizzy Edited June 5, 2009 by Dotty_17301 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemelo Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 We are out at Kurri so we do a 40 minute trip - good thing the dogs are good in the car!! Just wanted to bump this to find out how you went? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is becoming so expensive..... i thought that was why i had a small dog to avoid so many expenses. I have spent thousands so far. Well she took more blood and tested her electrolytes and kidneys etc again. Everything appears normal with that. Even her BUN was in the normal range!! I take her back on tomorrow arvo for an ultrasound on her pancreas and i have to take a wee sample in. I'm going to ask for her CPLI test to be done again to see if it has come down! Just hope i get her sorted and soon! thanks for asking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
