BaileysPapa Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 There is a Poison Control Hotline for animals, from the ASPCA, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is (888) 426-4435. Everyone should have this number in your first aid kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaileysPapa Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 I was just told by a friend that there is a fee involved with help from them. Sorry, I did not know that. I was told about the number, but, not about a fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 It's the thought that counts. Thanks BaileyPapa. I looked their site over and it only lists dogs, cats, horses and small pets with no mention of birds at all. But, most communitites do have some type of emergency veterinarian clinics staffed during non business hours and weekends. How ever, most are not avian certified. It really pyas to have an avian vet you develop a relationship with and have emergency contact numbers for non office hours should a 911 occur. Most regular veterinarian offices really cannot handle an avian 911. They may try, but they really do not have the unique education and skills most the time treat our feathered friends as quickly and accurately as aboard certified avian vet.
