Need vet recommendation ASAP! 🇨🇦

[Safamirza]

Hello this is my second post on this site <3

This post is also for my friend and her kitten, Kodi. (Btw she really appreciated the help from you guys)

We live in Canada and she lives in Woodstock, ON.

If you live near that area, or live in the KW region or Cambridge, can someone let me know of any good veterinarians for cats? Her kitten is 2 months old.

She just got him a few days ago and wants to get him checked out to make sure he is well and as a annual check up. She also told me that she noticed he was sneezing today, so she wants to get it checked as well. Is this normal btw? She is also sick herself, (flu) and she thought that she got him sick even though she has been distancing herself from him and not giving any kisses or cuddles.

If you are not from Canada or those areas, can you please let me know of good ways or any good sites to find a good vet for her?

thank you to anyone who replies ‍

I don't think rubysmama lives near Ontario but cassiopea does and may be able to offer a recommendation or some help.

That would be Nextdoor .com

I think most vets would be fine for just getting a kitten checked out. But you could look at Google reviews for any that you consider, to see if any negatives, or positives, stand out.

As for the kitten sneezing, it's unlikely to be the same thing as your friend's flu, unless she has Covid, then it is a possibility, but still probably just a coincidence.

I live almost 5 hours away from Woodstock (Ontario is a huge province) but have some friends who live in Southern Ontario:

Woodstock ON:

Wellington Animal Hospital Woodstock Ontario - Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, great with emergencies, calming and compassionate atmosphere for pets/treat pets like their own.

Oxford County Veterinary Clinic Woodstock, ON 's Newest Animal Hospital - Professional and kind staff, organized, not pushy about needless/extra procedures or prices.



Cambridge ON:

Cambridge Veterinary Services Cambridge, Ontario - Attentive, understanding and patient staff, knowledgeable vet(s) who explain things very well/transparent, high level of accurate and straightforward diagnosis and treatments.



Hope that helps!
