I'm sure someone out here will be able to point you in the right direction but in the mean time check out the ARAV site under the "members" section. You'll most likely find several vets there. As with any new vet, though, if you don't have one if not more recommendations for him/her, don't hesitate to actually "interview" them. Just because they're ARAV members doesn't necessarily mean they know what they're doing.

For example, out of the 6 listed for NH, there's unfortunately only one that I'd trust with any of my animals. I've yet to deal with/hear anything about two of them, and the remaining three I wouldn't trust with a pet rock. One of them saw one of my females on an emergency call last year while she was gravid. Blew up like a balloon within 2 hours for some reason and had us concerned so we took her in at midnight. After x-rays and exam he found nothing wrong. Of course, he also didn't see the eggs on the x-ray which were plainly visable to us. When we asked about them he told us that there weren't any eggs and sent us home. All of two weeks later I wanted to drive back to his practice and bounce 24 frozen eggs off of his forehead but IC wouldn't let me...:(
