Anyone Know of a good bunny vet in Central California?

[Greta]

Hi everyone!

I am needing to get my buns neutered, but I don't know of a good bunny vet within a reasonable distance from me...
Any advice greatly appreciated!

I know Dr Murray! He does exotic consults for Antech Labs (Iwork in the consultation department). He's very wellrespected! I think he'd be a great choice. I am not sure howhis "pricing" works but sometimes the price is worth the incrediblepiece of mind from a knowledgeable vet you know?
