Sylvania Veterinary Hospital
Dr. Melanie Bender
4801 Holland-Sylvania Rd.
Sylvania, OH 43560
419-885-4421

Takes care of all exotics and wildlife. My chin has had to stay overnight and she took wonderful care of her and I had her back in 3 days in perfect health! Several of the technicians also own chins and are very knowledgeable. They also sell Oxbow products so you can pick up food or hay.
 
I would like to add in here that Sylvania Vet Hospital no longer sees chins. I was referred to the Bird and Exotic pet Wellness Center, 51166 Monroe St # 305, Toledo OH 43623, 419-843-3137
About two ago when I was calling around trying to find a bunch of vets (when I got Yuki) most vets in the area recommended the wellness center. Some backup places that will take in chins are the Hartman Vtrinary Hospital, Dr. Meyers at 3924 Airport Hwy, Toledo, 4193857433
And the 24 hour Emergancy care facility on Douglas Road (2921 Douglas road, toledo, 43606) has a chin specialist they can call in.
I have an appt for tomorrow at the Bird and Exotic Pet Wellness center for tomorrow, so I can at least review that one.
 
Just finished up our appt with Dr. Tim Reichard at the Bird & Exotic pet Wellness Center. He's awesome and knows chins. They sell Mazuri, local timothy hay, and Emeraid Herbivore critical care.
My costs were $35 for each chin's exam, $27 for an ointment for my chin's eye, then I bought the critical care for $14 and a Manuka Honey med for wounds as just in cases- the total was $160 for the visit and we went over everything.

Some things others may not like is that they do pet sit birds and let them free fly time in the receptionist's area. They also had a couple dogs walking around. I was fine with it- nothing approached me or my chins while there, but I know some people wouldn't like it. I wasn't keen on the idea when I heard about it, but it really didn't impact the visit at all. My sister has also apparently taken a rat there when her regular vet wasn't open and really liked the place. She thinks the birds flying around is fun.
