Good Vets to recommend

To me, when it comes to vet, I would definitely look for one that is near my location because travelling is a stressful journey for dogs in pain. Having said that, I live in the east and can recommend you 2 vets that I have been to and had satisfactory experience.

1. Animal Clinic around Telok Kurau.
-Look for Dr Hsu. He is very experienced and gentle with animals. They do small pets such as rabbits and hamsters as well.

2. Amber Vet around Siglap Centre
-A relatively new vet that provides a clean environment with young but professional vets who would go all out to explain your pets condition in layman terms. Would seek your consultation before going on with any treatment. It was definitely a pleasant experience and I learnt a lot about my pets condition.

Good luck!

I used to recommend Allpets on Jalan Kayu but they've had many staff changes in the past year so I don't know how good they are anymore.

A Good Vet is One who knows how to be friendly with pets and can recognize their Disease only by looking at them .

i guess the definition will depend greatly on what you are dealing with

i used to bring my girl to her regular vet
normal condition - no problem, very good vet
however, when my girl went into crisis because of her kidney disease, i find that my regular vet is really not well-versed in this
in the end, i'm now onto my third vet, and still not sure if i should continue my search for a fourth (maybe fifth or sixth) vet who KNOW about feline kidney disease

so maybe TS want to share what exactly you are looking for so that others can contribute their experience...

No such thing as a registered specialist in veterinary dentistry or feline internal medicine in Singapore.

CRF, nothing much u can do except increase water intake, regulate dietary protein and phosphorus, avoid nephrotoxic drugs, calcitrol and EPO supplements, etc. Best speak with your vet to see how bad the CRF is at first. Nothing short of renal transplant can help it but even that is a tough one

Also why you need so tok kong dental experts for your pet? Are you looking to do root canal treatment or dental implants?

actually there's a lot of things that can be done for CRF
these things defines whether the cat survives days, months or years after diagnosis...
CRF causes hypertension and anaemia, both which are fatal if left untreated
the 'in-thing' now for CRF is actually stem cell treatment as renal transplant is considered unethical...

i'm looking at a dental specialist because of my girl's chronic rhinitis
i want to rule out the possibility of her root poking into her sinus that is causing it (at least two human i know have this problem)
i also want to rule out FORL as she is not eating (she has not been eating on her own for coming to four months)

 

[applefreak]

in case you are wondering, my girl is seeing three vets (cause none can do everything)
one for her anaemia, one for her blood pressure and one for ultrasound (the ONLY specialist in singapore)
it adds to her stress because it's new people and place every time

Sure u can do a lot of things but all is palliative, baring renal transplant there really is no cure for CRD just do things to make patient comfortable until the end comes. Debatable as to how good stem cell therapy is and what is the efficacy, it doescost a lot of money

With FORL it's often very painful and affected gum is swollen and inflamed. Has your vet refer ur cat for CT scan of the nasal passage ?

Animal infirmary

Hi. Have anyone heard of animal infirmary?
I am looking for a good vet too but it's soooo tough! I have asked a lot of friends (who are also dog owners) around me for recommendation and they did gave me some names. However, I saw some bad reviews when I did a search on them.

Now, a friend had recommended animal infirmary to me. However, I couldn't find much reviews about them. Could you please tell me your views about this clinic if you know of them? Or is there any other vet that you could recommend?

I'm desperate to find a good vet for my dog as one of his teeth is broken and I hope to get it cured asap.

Thanks a lot in advance friends!
