We have two new chins (4 and a half months old) and would like to take them for a check-up soon.  We have been doing research on small animal/exotic pet vets in Chicago to find a good one, but if anyone has experience with particular vets that they can recommend, that would be so helpful!  Thanks in advance...

As a side note, is there a recommended period of time that chins should have to acclimate to their new surroundings before they are moved for a trip to the vet?

I'm not from Chicago, but I keep a list of chinchilla experienced vets at The CHINformation Organization.  I have only one listed in Chicago...

Animal House of Chicago
Dr. De La Navarre
2752 W. Lawrence Avenue in Chicago
(773)878-8002

There is also one listed in Elmwood Park and one in Lisle.

Hope this helps!   Smiley

I live in Indianapolis, Indiana, but have taken my beloved chin Billy to Midwest Animal Hospital, 7510 West North Ave. in Elmwood Park, IL 60707, phone 708-453-4755. Billy saw Betsy Clarkson,DVM. She was very good with chins and really knowlegable. I am looking for a great chin vet within a reasonable drive of Indianapolis. It takes me about 5 hours to drive to Chicago, and 5 hours back. That is to hard on me and the chin. If you live in Chicago, It couldn't be better.

Oh, that's good to know.  The last vet I took my chinnie to didn't know how to hold him.  The vet almost crushed his little ribcage!  so sad

Donna:  Have you tried Dr. Lennox at Avian and Exotic Animal Clinic?  It's located at 9330 Waldemar Road in Indianapolis.  Their phone number is (317)879-8633.
