quickcluck Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) Took Layla to the vets last night, after a week of not eating, and a squrity bum have been trying to worm her but she is refusing even treats... Went a bit half hearted as the poultry man is away, and thought it would be a waste of time. However we saw a great vet, who was very knowledgeable, she gave her a good examination. We came away with baytril, and a good calerorific vitamin tonic. She offer a stool sample, but at £55 we said we'd come back if she didn't perk up. When chatting to the vet nurse after we found that our poultry man had send 6 vets and nurses on poultry courses as it's become such a popular hobby so they are more prepared, and has got chooks himself now!!! Just thought I'd share Edited July 29, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-real-tinkerbell Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 thats really good ,i couldnt find a chook vet so took pot luck and picked one ,and im so pleased with it ,the woman vet hasnt got poultry training but she is the owner of 6 ex batts i felt confident with nugget being cared for by her . and the bounus was she charged me £32 for a small animal ie rabbit instead of £48 for a cat or dog lol ,it was quite comical watching them work out how to charge me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 Hmmmmmmmmmm we had that too, she went for small animal instead of 'exotic pet' much cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 At least most vets do seem to charge for small animal for chickens. Mine charged £19.00 for consulatation and Baytril so not to bad. Its usually £19.00 just for looking at the dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
