long, long time private vet who sold to vca when he retired, about 15 yrs ago, i think. not sure when it closed but i just noticed it.
my longtime exotic animal vet was bought but i dont see them on the list. guy who started it just retired, so i wonder how long they’ll b around.

eta- i see it now. vetcor.
they were always spendy, cuz exotics, but it’s crazy now.
