Question Holly House in Leeds

Holly House is the closest rep vet to me. Problem is I only one person who's been and they've told me stories which contain words i'm not allowed type. So have any of you used this place for your rep's and tort's?

Even after all your smashing help and advice Ed has not picked up so I'm going to take him in for check up. How much should just the check cost. Y'know, before they try to sell me med's Ed propably doesn't need.

Thanks lovely super stars x

It depends on the vets and area. I've not used holly house, but not heard bad feedback. The nearest specialist to me charges £37 for consultation but I'm happy there.

I can't take a poo sample cos he's not pooing. Done one since I got him! Unless he's eating it. Yum. X

Holly house is the closest to me. I have had my spur thigh tort treated there. I cannot compare with other specialist vets but they are not cheap. Having said that I don't think that any specialist vet comes at a low price. They were very mindful of the costs and tried very hard to minimise them and importantly the care of Charlotte was fantastic. I would recommend that you take out an pet insurance, Exotic pets seem to be the best. The trouble with torts is that very few things happen quickly and this includes the healing process and when using a vet it can become expensive by the very nature of a tortoise. stephen
