FAQ
What kind of animals do exotic vets treat?
Many unusual vets specialise in one or two species. For instance exotic avian vets (vets for birds) focus solely on birds. However, certain vets also provide care for small mammals such as guinea pigs, ferrets, rats and others. An exotic animal vet may provide care and surgery for all manner of fauna, even large animals like tigers. Some even offer treatment for exotics such as spiders and insects. Those who have exotic pets should seek out a veterinary establishment that has some specialisation in the type of animal, insect or arachnid they have as a pet.
What is a bird vet called?
The proper term for a vet specialising in the treatment and care for birds is an avian veterinarian. However, within this specialisation you will find different types. For example, certain avian vets may specialise in birds such as parrots, cockatoos and cockatiels that are domesticated. Whereas other bird clinics are specifically for the care of native wildlife. Also, there are avian vets that are primarily equipped for regular care and others that have specialist surgical facilities for serious cases.
Do birds need to go to the vet?
Yes, It is important to bring your bird to a bird vet as they offer consultation services to inform you if your bird is on the correct diet for their species, in the correct weight range and whether or not you may need to change their living environment. The diet for an exotic bird such as a parrot will be markedly different from that of a budgerigar. You can look up avian vets near me to find a veterinary specialist for your pet bird and book an appointment for consultation.
How often should a bird go to the vet?
It can be difficult to know if your bird isn’t feeling well. It’s their instinct to hide physical sickness because it makes them more susceptible to predators. It is generally advised to see a bird specialist vet at least once a year. Those with exotic birds may want to take them at least twice a year to see an avian vet. Gold Coast residents that need an exotic pet vet have access to a very professional option in Currumbin Vet Services.
What areas in Queensland do you have clients?
