TAJ Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 For those having difficulty finding a vet that treats poultry the royal college of veterinary surgeons (RCVS) has an online search facility that covers th UK - if you go to the 'advance search' option towards the bottom of the page you can tick the 'treats poultry' and then just put your town or first part of your postcode in and it will come up with the 100 nearest to you. I find it works best if you put in a town name. http://www.rcvs.org.uk/Templates/System/FAVSearch.asp?NodeID=89660&FAVSearchType=2#advanced ...if people find this useful perhaps it should be a sticky?

Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Thanks for this . I did a search and the vet I thought did poultry isn't listed . However there is one listed which is only 10 minutes away so it's been very useful . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluffyknickers Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 My vet who does do poultry isn't listed as doing poultry so it probabaly is worth having a ring round. Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 The thing is that 'Poultry' in these terms may mean vets who advise on commercial flocks - my own vet didn't come up, although they've been happy to advise me on chickens. They're not specialists, but I'd rather use them than have to travel miles with a sick bird to a vet that I don't know. A useful link, but don't be put off if your own vet doesn't appear, it's worth ringing them to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Watch Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Useful..... I could have done with this last week as I had a vet trip for the first time in 2 years of chicken keeping only the day before yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick1 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 that's a really good link thanks,it will add to my "Ooops, word censored!"nal of good points about it being easy to keep chickens( as our local vet that is within walking distance of me treats chickens) so OH need not have anything at all to do with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
