I visited Vicarage Veterinary around six weeks ago with my poorly chipmunk, Poppy. She was suffering with a rather complicated, unusual ailment. Although this type of animal is not the usual that enters their doors, I was impressed with the time taken, compassion shown and the caring nature of the nurses who advised and helped. There is very little treatment available to such small and exotic pets such as these, but the nurses where honest and did the very best they could, offering several options open to me without any pressure. I realised in my heart at the time, that this may well be terminal, but with the help given, and the medicine provided, she had a happy, comfortable life and didn't suffer any pain. She was nearly eight years old, which for a small rodent is a good longevity, and I couldn't have realistically expected more. I was fitted in on two occasions at short notice, and the costs were considerably less than I expected, (despite the facts that I was neither registered here, nor had I visited before). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the V.V.C. to others, and I will be returning in the future, should I need to with other pets.
