I go to Companion Vet Care in P@H Charlton.

I have had great experiences here with a variety of small animals that so many vets seem to know very little about or think they are untreatable.

They have treated four of my gerbils including Carbuncle who had severe abdominal blockages and muscle problems. He was only a month old. Another vet told me putting him down would be the kindest thing but after one visit, a 10 day course of baytril and some steroid injections as well as syringe feeding from the vet at Charlton and he is now coming up to a bright healthy and happy 12 months.

Cat my last hamster visited them twice. They gave great advice in making him comfortable and treating him as he got older. I took him their to be put down as well.

They really know what they are doing and have never failed to fit me in the same day often within a few hours of me calling.
