I'm in Columbus (north side), and my vet quit... Grr... I know some that will TREAT herps, but just kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I'll let you know if I find anyone good.

But I'll have to think of a 'softball' problem to test them out. I think my matamata needs a parasite checkup...

I go to Animal Care Unlimited of of Sawmill Rd. (northwest of columbus?). Unfortunatly the Dr. I liked (Dr. Sattler) moved out of state, but there still is Dr. Burton and a women that I can't remember her name. The number is 766-2317. There are some other places that see reptiles. I believe there is a place in Lancaster. I wouldn't recommend Indian Creek in reynoldsburg cause I took a snake there once and I seemed to know more than them.
Good luck.

Dr. Hayward is her name... they have one other that will see herps too.
Wonder we didn't run into each other there!

You might consider calling the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine for either a local referral or to access care at their teaching hospital. For information click here.

SIGH... That's it. I have to move. I had a hard enough time dragging my sorry self up to Sawmill road... Thanks for the website, though. I hope they don't charge an arm and a leg (legs already being in short supply at my place).
