Avian Vet Question Instructions
Our Avian Vet Question form is only if the question does not concern a bird that needs immediate medical attention! Our certified Avian Vet will answer your question in 24 - 72 hours, but that is too long to wait if you have a sick bird. When filling out the form below, please give enough information to give the Vet a picture of your situation. He needs clear, concise information when reading your Avian Vet Question. The Vet will answer your question and then I will post the answer. If you check the box for receiving notices when someone responds to your question, you will get an Email when I post the response. If you choose not to give your Email address, then you should bookmark our site and come back later to see if your question has been answered. (We do not collect or share Email addresses! Your privacy is our concern.) Do you have a non-emergency bird question?
Our Avian Vet will answer your non-emergency questions about your parrot. Please give short but detailed information for him to help you.
