Oolalula Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I've had a hard time locating any veterinary practices that specialise in poultry. I'm in Bedfordshire but would be willing to go fairly far afield - Home Counties and western east anglia. Does anyone have anyone they can recommend? Our vet is good but we'd just like to be able to get a second opinion on some possible minor surgery to help ease the laboured breathing of our hen with sterile egg peritonitis. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 There's a sticky HERE with a list of vets recommended by forum users, and there is also a list in each edition of Practcial Poultry magazine. It might be an idea to call around the practices in your area to see if any of them either treat chooks, or can recommend one that can. Our local surgery has a farm practice and the main vet there is one of this countries leading avian specialists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 we just thought about where the nearest rural/farmland area to us was and then looked up vets in yell.com in that area and found one quite quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffie Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 If you're near wellingborough I took priscilla for an impacted crop and they were very good. She had an op and is fine. Swanspool http://www.swanspoolvets.com BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
