Am I handing him too much? Still wheezing :(

The local vet here does anywhere from rabbits to horses, but a couple years ago we took my dog there to get stitches and it was pretty messy. Nice people though. The vet in Tulsa I've never been to, but it was mentioned on a sticky on the best reptile vets in each state or something. The most it would be is a week.. I just would need help with the money and I don't know where/how to get that. Super helpful thank you I might try the local one on Monday, I'll see how much it costs for a checkup and all that. It might not be worth it, I'll see how he's doing then and if he's holding up, I'll probably wait for next weekend and drive to Tulsa. I couldn't do it tonight, it's already 5:00 lol. But maybe tomorrow..? That would be for Tulsa... I'm not sure. I'll talk to my parents about it. They don't seem to be taking it seriously and honestly, they don't really like Geno. I'll see what I can do about it

If the local vet messes up stitching up a dog, I don't think I'd take my reptile there. Plus usually exotics vets don't see dogs, cats and larger animals. There is a big size difference between tools used for larger animals and those for exotics. Most exotics see stuff like birds, reptiles and rodents. Sounds like the local vet is just that, a 'local' vet who sees farm animals and stuff. Nothing wrong with it but I doubt he would really know about reptiles. I would just wait the week and see how the snake does and make the appointment to see the reptile vet in Tulsa.

I've only used him for snakes, so not sure what other species he treats. Very nice guy. ~Jess (slartibartfast)~

I used him for a snake once, and he seemed pretty knowledgeable. They do a ton of wildlife rescue and rehab. ~Jess (slartibartfast)~

Sorry to ask so many questions! But are these vets I mentioned ok? Like, anyone have any experience or know anything about them? Sorry, stupid questions! Just want to make sure I'm driving quite a ways for a good vet
