Hi all,
If you are a veterinarian that works with fish or you know of one then I would like to hear from you. I am gathering info on vets that work with fish so I can put it on my new Website to help hobbyists find them.
You can contact me at [email protected]
Thanks for your help,
Terry B

I've got a friend that's a vet. I asked her about it, and she basically said there's no such things as a fish-vets. Marine biologists are the ones that take care of the big critters at sea-world, etc... Sometimes they do work with vets that have specialized equipment like my friend, (who does vetrinary sonography), and I'm sure there are some that have actually gone and gotten their vet license, but there aren't any vets to her knowledge that would be able to help with aquarium-hobby fish, beyond suggestions to do the same type of things that you can research on RC, here or on other hobby-boards. Quarantine tanks, hospital tanks, dosing with copper, fresh-water dips, etc...

I'm certified as a Fish Psychiatrist, so if your fishes are having emotional problems then I'd be more than happy to work it out with them.

My going rate is $75/hr. Due to the nature of fishes, inverts and corals, session usually last about an hour a day for 3 months.

That and we eat Haggis. It's good for you, it'll put hair on the soles of your feet! The very rare tropical Scottish Tartan Phish love it.

Actually, there are veterinarians that work with fish. I converse with a couple of them. Both of the ones I talk to are professors and they teach it. Tim-Miller Morgan of Oregon State University teaches a course on it and I also talk with Dr. Edward Noga professor of Aquatic medicine at North Carolina State University. It has been estimated that there are only about 100 vets nationally that work with aquarium fish (and or Koi), but the number is growing. You can read about Dr. Tim Miller-Morgan's program at OSU by clicking on the link on the services page of my Website.
