Avian Vet Needed In Case!

Featured Replies

Posted

Once I took my budgie to a vet to have its ring removed. When we were filling out forms for surgery she asked us what species it was and was it a cockatiel? She didn't even know if it was a budgie! and she couldn't tell what sex my bird was! Can you understand why I need to know if there are any avian vets in my area? Those vets near me don't know a thing about birds and my bird was frantic when she came out!

Victoria is a big help,there are 5 registered Avain vets in Victoria. :rofl:

I'll see if I can look them up!

There are three bird-specific clinics with registered bird vets in Victoria. They are:

 

Burwood Bird and Animal Hospital

Dr Patricia MacWhirter and Dr Phil Sacks

128 Highbury Road

Burwood 3125

03 9808 9011

 

Melbourne Bird Veterinary Clinic

Dr Colin Walker and Dr Corrie Pinkster

+ 61 3 9764 9000

 

Springvale Animal Hospital

Dr Matthew Gosbell and Dr Ruth Barrett

Springvale South VIC 3172

Phone 03 9546 5022

The following places will also see birds, they're not specialists but know more about birds than regular dog-and-cat vets:

Melbourne School of Veterinary Science

Dr Tina Knight

250 Princes Hwy

Werribee 3030

03 9741 3500

 

Templestowe Veterinary Clinic

288 Manningham Road,

Lower Templestowe 3106

(03) 9850 5046

 

They're all I can think of.

Macka was trying to say Victoria is a big place and when someone asks where you are they mean what suburb :blink:

This must be a guessing game,by the look of it,you don't live in the Melbourne area.

Is there any more clues say like,Northern Vic,Gippsland,Central,South West & the Mallee. :D

Oh, sorry, I'm a kid.

Age has little to do with simply saying what suburb you live in so members can help point you to a local vet :)

 

 

so what suburb are you in ?
