Vets who have Experience Treating Rats
Please Note: This is a list of individual VETS not vet clinics.
When making an appointment please insure you are booking in
to see the vet listed not any other vet at the clinic.
The only vets that the AusRFS is in a position to recommend are those that
our Club or Rescue Service has worked with directly and we can therefore
recommend them as being experienced, knowledgeable
and up-to-date with rat treatment and surgery.
These vets are marked below.
The other vets listed are known to have experience treating rats.
Please contact the vet before making an appointment, to check what
experience they have in relation to specific
treatments and surgery.
If you have any questions please contact the AusRFS.
