Does anyone know of a vet that cares for birds in the area? I’ve got to get our pet parakeet to a vet, and can’t find one. I’ve found a few that list that they care for birds, but the vets aren’t in or only in one day a week. Anyone with birds know of anyone?

Yeah, we take our cockatiel to Animal General in Cranberry. They have two locations that the avian vet visits. The other one is called Gardens Veterinary Hospital.

West Liberty Animal Hospital sees birds.

Source: my dog nearly lost his mind when we were there one time and the parrot waiting with his owner in the lobby started talking. 🤣

I’ve used Dr. Wagner many times. He is wonderful. Very knowledgeable and compassionate.

In Gibsonia is a place called paws and talons, they might be what you're looking for.

I think I’ve done all I can for now… Keeping her stable and safe until the vet can see her Thursday.

If you remember to, would appreciate a report back. I have taken my rabbit to see Dr. Backus, but haven’t made an appointment for my parrot yet.

It’s not on the list but I’m pretty sure Dr Winnie at Greenfield Vet sees birds too.

Edit: just saw on their website that they aren’t accepting new avian clients right now. Sorry. ☹️

On a related subject, anyone know any good trustworthy local bird sitters?

May I ask what's going on with her? I also have parakeets, not that I have any vet experience. They're such awesome budgie buddies :)

No problem. If it’s any comfort, I use Bethel Animal Clinic and they are all wonderful there.

She fell off her perch and injured her cere… Bleeding was minimal, and stopped. The worry is why did she fall? This happened once before about a year ago… Scared us pretty good, then the next day she was back to normal and fine for a year… This morning after seeing her injury I watched her all day and she fell twice more… Can’t tell what caused what, but something’s wrong. She is the oldest of our group, and the sweetest, with the most personality I’ve ever seen in ANY pet… My daughter, and the rest of us too, will be heartbroken if something happens to her. Moved her to a smaller cage, (not as high) just in case she falls again. Other than that and ‘wobbling’ a little, she seems fine. Going to be a stressful couple of days until I can see someone.
