We've all been there, done that. Hamlyn Heights vet Made an appointment with a vet that claims to see birds, only to find out that the only bird they 'see' on a regular basis is the one that eats from the feeder outside their office window. How do you find a good vet in your area? Take the following questionnaire and see if it can't help you in your search.

4) Be sure to ask questions! If the vet gets annoyed with your desire to understand as much as possible, be aware. Most vets automatically explain the process of what is happening (eg, "Now I am going to towel Pickles and palpate the breastbone"). Are your questions answered carefully and thoroughly?

5) Is the vet explicit about home care, and what to do with the bird once back at home. Does he/she provide any information about the best possible home setup for a sick bird, and offer any additional advice? If the vet is recommending measures such as handfeeding, giving medication, or other measures, can they explain the proper protocol for carrying out their instructions? Are they willing to show you how to best restrain your bird and give them oral medications?

6) If possible, consider paying the first bill with a credit card. That way, if anything is to go wrong, you'll have someone 'on your side' with leverage- you can dispute the charges and the vet won't get paid until or unless the card company is satisfied. The vet is more likely to try and satisfy you if they have not yet received payment. Read more

Finding a good avian vet can be a long and often frustrating process. Don't be afraid to ask questions, seek recommendations, and interview any prospects before actually bringing your animal into the clinic. Once you find that gem of a vet, you'll want to keep them for years to come!

Now that you own a horse you should learn how to choose the best equine vet. These are veterinarians who specialize in the treatment of horses. Many 'horse doctors' may also be trained to deal with other large farm animals such as oxen, mules and cows.

There are some suggestions that might help you when you are picking an equine vet from among a long list of possible contenders. As a responsible and caring horse owner you want to make a good decision about who will provide the necessary medical care for your animal.

One of the first things to do is to make a list of the names of all the equine vets that you are willing to consider. Once you have the names you can begin the elimination process that will eventually lead you to your top choice.

Ask if the veterinarians you are considering are willing to accept credit card payments. Do they take checks? Will they set up a payment plan? Find out all payment options that may be available and use this information to help you weed through the list of names.

Ask each of these vets what types of large animal experience they have. Just because a DVM is identified as an equine vet this does not mean that they will necessarily have the experience you are looking for. If you have donkeys or mules as well as a horse you may prefer to find an animal doctor who is able to render vet care to a wider variety of equine species.
