auyatyat, Dr Martinez is the on-call vet i've told you abt in sms..
he used to work in Arbutus west animal clinic (my buns used to go there and see him)... he left a bit over a yr ago and started in own business... there was the option of having him go to your place or you go to his place (granville & 12th i believe). he's really good with buns but he wasnt very on time (last summer i had him come to my place to check on my bun and he was late for over an hr) but skills-wise he's pretty good.  Didnt know he changed the name of his clinic...i guess he's done with going on-call so he got a place?  i saw his yellow vet car when i went to steveston last weekend

oh so u go to arbutus west too...
ever since dr martinez has left i'm going to west boulevard vet to see dr potter instead... she's way more expensive but also way more experienced.

so far dr potter seems ok to me.. she's quick and i think that's from her experience.  The way she handles bunnies and the kind of things she tested for makes me feel like she has a lot of experience.  her daughter on the other hand is more gentle but seems to be lacking experience (as she's still young).

dr brondwin seems a bit cold in terms of personality.  after my first bun Mocha passed away i took him to arbutus west to 解剖 to find out what happened... and he didnt seem very patient with me.  but they were nice enough not to charge me for the 解剖...

after dr martinez left arbutus west i didnt know and took Mocha back for a check up (that was before he died, of cos)... because i didnt know who to find since martinez was gone, they put me with a random vet peron... i dont remember her name but OMG she was super rough on Mocha!! we were suspecting sth was wrong with his bladder so she wanted to get urine sample and what she did was she SQUEEZED HIS BLADDER and make his pee squat out!!!!! i was like WTF it looked so painful! and when she was handling Mocha she didnt seem to know how and he kicked her close to her eye... i asked "are you ok?" and she was like "....no..", definitely not friendly and not rabbit savvy.  it was since then i decided against arbutus west.

dr martinez has a lot of patience but he is super holistic... when he was still with arbutus west and i took my buns in for check up, he pulled me outside the vet more than one time to show me which grass i can pick for my buns to eat and he'd pull out a knife and grab a bunch of fresh grass and give them to my bun... he does that even tho he's late for his next appointmnet (maybe that's why he's never on time).  He is gentle and has lots of experience with rabbits too, i like him a lot... except he's way too 長氣 lol.

i went to dr potter ytd for my bunny's recheck... had an xray taken ($$$!!!!!) and after that she took a lot of time explaining to me that my bun was fine and was digging thru records of other buns to show me what it'd look like if she had gut problems or bladder stones.  she seems pretty patient yesterday?  I guess u went to her on her bad day? (p.s. they were nice enough to not charge for my recheck ytd, if they did then i'd be broke cuz xray was EXPENSIVE!)... i was also very happy that they had xray equipment on hand, cuz arbutus west didnt and they had to send me to dr upjohn in COQUITLAM (far!!)... dr upjohn is well known to be a good bun vet too but the xray turned out blurred and we couldn't see anything.  this time at dr potter the xray was very clear, i guess their technician have better skills?

chocobun

well this dumb bun didnt eat a lot for a bit 2 weeks ago, so we were worried... then when she's outside of her cage playing she pees small puddles outside.. so we were worried that she might have bladder stone and got xrays... but she turns out fine. dr potter said she's probably just marking (she hates my other bunny)... she's fine now but wouldn't eat hay on her own unless we HANDFEED her... super spoiled bun :S

p.s. thanks for the bunny supplies

chocobun

my buns are both spayed ga la... this is the younger one (her name is Ah Bi... the older one is Lilly)...
well she still picks when we handfeed her, we take a lot of time to hand pick hay out from large bags of hay... and take an hr to feed her each nite.

chocobun

make sure u find grass that has no pesticide... that's most important

chocobun

bunbun meet will be chaotic lol the buns will fight for sure :p

chocobun

if ur turtoise race with my buns it will definitely win cuz my buns will just be sitting there not moving.. lol
