Services for clients

Home visits and video calls

Mobile veterinary service

The benefits of seeing your birds in their own environment are huge:

  • It reduces the stress of a sick bird needing to travel to the veterinary clinic

  • All the birds can be seen together to assess if the problem is a flock issue, or an individual bird issue

  • Poultry friendly medicines can be prescribed, and specific advice on how to administer

  • The birds environment can be reviewed, to help keep your flock healthy

  • Specific biosecurity advice - especially keeping your birds safe to protect against avian influenza

Home visits: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

  • Standard appointment/charge: generally, enough time to examine one sick bird, take a brief look over the environment and prescribe medication (if needed)

  • A deposit is required at the time of booking. Extra time during the visit will be charged per 10 minutes. Travel time is charged at £1 per mile. Please contact me for charge estimations if you are more than 10 miles from BS10 (additional charges apply)

  • If you have multiple issues, or several birds that need an examination, this may take additional time (charges apply)

  • Home visits can be arranged for general wellness / preventative health checks for your birds - Just like taking your dog or cat to the vets for a check up, only this vet comes to see you

Video calls - Fridays (may be available at other times - please check the calendar)

15 minute remote video call appointments

  • These calls are for advice or follow up appointments only. Please note no medications will be prescribed without physically examining your birds

  • Unfortunately, I cannot offer emergency care for birds that require hospitalisation.

  • Mutual agreements must be in place before I can treat your birds.

  • All medicines are prescribed at an additional cost

  • Payments are taken by debit or credit card, and must be settled at the time of the visit

  • Please contact me if you have any questions

Longer appointments are available e.g. for full flock health examinations or multiple birds /several problems. These appointments will take additional time, and this will need to be factored when arranging the visit time. Please email your request to: sharon@chickenclinic.co.uk
