Albany New York area

I was wondering if anyone knows of any vets near Albany New York. I live over the hudson river in a town called East Greenbush. I am going to call around and see if any of the local vets know anything about chinchillas, but I figure it wouldn't hurt to ask here either.

There was a vet we went to when we lived in Albany. I can't remember the name of it right now, but it was right across from Stuyvesant plaza. I'm not sure of anything outside of Albany though.

Im from saratoga, I know its a bit of a haul from albany to saratoga but one of the best exotic vets around is in saratoga, upstate animal medical center. The vets name is Dr. Lucas, she's great with chinchillas. Might wanna check it out.

Hi, I live in troy and there are two vets.

I usually go to Albany County Vet across from Styvasant Plaza and I see Dr. P {thats what she goes by}, very good vet, very caring, she will stay with you and answer all your questions. 456-6333 [tell Dr. P. Jean sent you] As a matter of fact i just went yesterday because I got another ferret..ANyways, there is also a Dr. Jarvis in that office too, I only used her once. I personally just care for Dr P better.

Then there is one at exit 15 which are actually exoctic specialist, Upstate ANimal Medical Center, 583-0609, they are very good, but just to warn you the vet is very quick with you and isn't that great at staying the room and answering all your questions. But very good vet, they see mostly exoctics.

ANyways, I don't know if Albany County Vets are exoctic specialists but they have aways been very good and on the ball everytime i went with my chins, and i had alot of problems this year.

When i was first looking for a vet in our area, I literally went threw the phone book and called every vet and asked about their experience with chins and Albany County Vet was the only one around here that has the experience. Other than Upstate, but they are a 45 minutes drive for me, in upper Burgh.

If you want to call me and ask me about both vets in more details, my number is 238-2535 and my name is Jean.

I found that to be true with upstate animal medical center too. But over this year i had become a very frequent visitor of that vet and she does get very friendly and helpful. She even gave me her cell phone that I can use when Gizmo has a serious problem. Shes great.
