Wish I Knew Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Hi, Can anyone recommend a good vet for chickens in the Edinburgh/Midlothian/East Lothian area? If so, can you also give an idea of consulation costs if known? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggysoldiers Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 The only really chicken savvy place I know is the dick vet..... Edinburgh small animal hospital.... The fees are in line with elsewhere but they will actually treat the chooks instead of looking confused at it, then at you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I Knew Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 😂😂 Thanks. Yes, it is just known as Dick Vets round here 😂. I thought about them but wasn't sure how much of a normal vet practice they were compared to a specialist hospital. Wondered if there were any other options. I saw that the British Hen Welfare Trust mentions a vet at Gordon's practice in Musselburgh but that vet's name is nowhere to be found on Gordon's practice website so it must be out of date..... Braid Vets seem to mention an exotic animal section in their practice so I don't know if anyone has used them?? Maybe there are no other good options and the place to go is Dick Vet, as you say... Many thanks for the reply, Eggysoldiers. If anyone else has any further ideas, please shout.... Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggysoldiers Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 It has a normal vet practice that is very good. I take my dog there. And I know they are good with chickens too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
