I am in need of a good, reasonably priced veterinarian in the Atlanta area! I have had a few bad experiences with the vets that I have been to so far. I honestly don't see how people can afford to own a pet here and afford to get it the medical attention it needs!

I recently took my little Lucy who had just given birth to 4 puppies to a local vet, she didn't seem too interested and said there was nothing she could do that everyone looked fine and on the way home, she gave birth to another puppy! Also, while in the office I was asking about calcium tablets and she told me that I didn't need them that Yorkies do great with puppies, I knew that was false as I have read these forums for over a year. Anyways, 2 nights later, even with me giving her PetCal tabs my little Lucy had to be rushed to the ER due to Eclampsia!

Also, they vets here want $42.00 per puppy for their first shots, $56.00 per puppy to have their tails docked and dewclaws removed (already had this done). It's just outrageous to me! I used to live in TN and just called my vet there and they only want $19.00 per puppy for the shots and $10.00 to remove the tails. It will honestly be cheaper for me to make the 5 hour trip up there to have it done!

Anyways, if you could recommend someone it would be a lot of help to me.
