Vet recommendations for Maryland (pref Baltimore)?

[snitz427]

Hi! I have been looking for a good exotic vet to take my guys to, but there aren't many options near me. The most recommended vet I could find is still about an hour away... a drive I am willing to make, but hat will make dropping off 4 fecals on probably 4 different days a bit time consuming. The search feature has links to old threads that don't seem to exists, and honestly a 10 year old thread likely has outdated information in this area.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Thank you Jann! Thst’s still over an hour from me, which i am willing to drive for a good vet! But hoping there is a good one a little closer, at least for fecals.

Usually any mildly decent exotic vet can at least get you the fecals done.

The locally advertised “exotic” vets I’ve contacted don’t do reptiles. The exotic apparently only applies to parrots and guinea pigs. There’s one a little closer I reached out to, but since they haven’t returned my calls I’m guessing they’re not interested or a good choice.

Oh I just meant to drop off fecal samples, they won't even do that?

Nope. At least not the ones Ive found - which is suprising as i didint think you needed a reptile vet for a fecal. I have a huge animal hospital / vet 5 mins from home and they’re a nope too. Hmph!
