Would you get a new vet?

I wouldn't be happy about it, but I would have to find a new vet if it was more than an hour away. I don't have a car and can't depend on friends to take Fister there, if it's that far. I hope it will never be neccesary to move.

I was in a similar situation a couple years ago. I loved my vet in my old town, he was great with my exotics and that is so hard to find. I did some research on the vets closer to me and found an even better exotic vet. She specializes in birds and the second vet at the same clinic specializes in rodents. They've won national awards for their excellence with exotics (I don't remember what the actual awards were). The vet who specializes in birds has been named one of the top 10 vets in the US. My birds and chinchillas have been to that clinic and I absolutely love them there and they're less than 10 minutes from my house.

Ok, my point is to look around at the vets near you, you may find someone even better for you and your pets. I personally would continue to go back to my "old" vet for big things until I find a vet I like nearby.

I've had the same vet since before I moved to Michigan. Dr. Geer of the Colchester Veterinary Hospital is the best in his business. He allows you to make payments and will help you, as he did me when we found those 3 weeks old kittens.
