Finding an Avian Vet   by Sam Joseph

An avian vet is someone who will provide care for your bird especially when it is ill. There are many of these professionals who are ready to provide services and since they all offer different services, you have to select one who is more specific to your needs. Finding an avian vet can be easy or difficult depending on how you choose to go about it. It can be quite easy if you know exactly what kind of professional you are looking for.

One way to find an avian vet is asking friends and family members. Your friends and family who keep birds like you should have some ideas of good vets. This is on the assumption that the birds must have fallen ill sometime and they had to find someone to treat them. The other is to find advice from local bird clubs and if you can’t identify one, then the Association of Avian Veterinarians (AAV) website will help. AAV will help you locate a vet near you and you can be sure this will be someone qualified.

You may consider getting a local avian vet for your bird so handling emergency care services will be much easier. The best way to find a local avian vet fast is to check the local listings online. You can identify several of them and either call or visit their offices to see things yourself including how they handle other birds and the equipment they are using.

When looking for an avian vet, there are things or factors that you should consider. These are the things you are going to use to compare all the avian vets you have identified. When you are ready to select one, you may want to answer the following questions before you can be sure you have the best person for your bird.

  • What species does my bird belong to?
  • What is the experience of the vet on treating such birds?
  • How much does the vet charge for the services?
  • Is the vet able to provide regular check ups for the bird?
  • Will the vet be available anytime the bird needs him/her?
  • Can the person perform surgery when needed?
  • What kind of equipment and supplies does he/she use?
  • How many avian does the vet take care of?
  • Does the vet have experienced staff to help?
  • How does he/she handle the pets during examination?

You need to take time to find the right avian vet for your bird so you can establish a friendly and long lasting relationship. This way, it will even be easy for the vet to make house calls and he/she may not charge you more for that. Asking the vet questions about his/her experience, training and services is an easy way to know whether you should hire him or not. It is good to start looking for an avian vet as soon as you acquire the Pet rather than when it is already sick.
