Oh good Shell! I wouldn't take my kids to a doctor, no matter how good their qualifications, if I didn't trust them, same with my vet! Your very lucky to have a good avian vet

you have hit the nail right on the head their lin dont trust him not worth seening

Are you sure he is a regitred avain vet as vets have been known to say that they are one . Is he on here www.vetafarm.com.au and click on avain vets on the side bar .

 

cheers

Shouldn't you have known that before taking all your birds to him?

 

And did he say he was an avian vet or did his degrees just sound like it? A lot of people think "small animal" vets deal with well, very small animals. But that is just the name for a dog/cat veterinarian.

 

It's great if he's an avian vet though, that will save you a looot of trouble!

it funny you say that eterri when my girl budgie got sick i just rang my local vet and asked if they see birds the lady on the phone laughed at me and of corse we have a lovely bird vet then when i went in the other day and i asked weather they had an avian vet she said to me so you not calling him an bird vet anymore!i said i didnt even know their was an avian vet until i got on to a forum it was funny at the time the degrees he said were like B.c.what ever like one letter then dot ect so i dont know even if they sound like degrees!

 

oh and he wasnt on the list so who knows i dont think he has any reason to lie to me even if he wasnt an avain vet i would still have to go to him because the only other one is in melbourne that 2hours away!

 

thanks

Shell,

Want birdy vet's name and number. I had 2 tiels pluck themselves to death and all my local vet could do was tell me when they die to go and buy more birds! Sure, I didn't have them long, but I cry over anyone's loss of life.

I can't believe she couldn't fix their problem so she became such an unfeeling cow! I need a new vet now, there's no way I want my birdies looked after by someone who, because she can't fix a problem, takes them off all other medications, and says you need a new one.
