Default Vets in the NW

Can anyone recommend a decent vet for rats in the North West? I have my one for the reps but would prefer to find one who knows about rats.

Thanks.

I see you are in Wigan, give Gilmore vets a ring in Standish, theyre probably the best vets ive been to, and ive gone through a few in the pursuit of a good one!
I see George, and hes really nice with my rats and willing to listen to suggestions, but the rest of the vets seem okay too.

Its cheap too, which is a bonus when you have lots of rescues to take in for treatment!

You could try
Rufford Veterinary Group they have a branch in Rufford and 1 in Southport.
Iain Frazer or Ian Foster are the 2 to see with Rats. Excellent vets, nothing is to much trouble and they are very reasonable to
