With Me getting all these babies in this Squirrel Season and with me possibly getting the squirrel from BendyChicken with the swollen leg/hip I thought it was time I get the name of a few good vets around the Lakeland area that are willing to take care of squirrels with out turning them in..... I never have had the need to call upon a vet with any of my squirrels so far.

Any one got a name or two they care to recommend?

I have a wildlife vet here on the east coast (Port Orange ... south of Daytona Beach). Her name is Alicia Emerson and she is fantastic with small critters (exotics, squirrels, rabbits, ground squirrels, hedge hogs, skunks, ...)

Does any one have VET they care to mention that is close by that I can keep around as a back up?

What do you consider close?
I know several in the Orlando area that treat wildlife.
They are much more costly than the one you found.
I may even drive to Lakeland with those rates!!

Tampa & Orlando are a little farther than I would want to drive as a back..... I will do a more calling my self and see what the surrounding cities have, but Thanks I will keeps Orlando in mind just in case.
