PIGEON FRIENDLY VETS

 

You might also want to have a look at Postal Testing

 

Please be aware that even the kindest vets have not been fully involved in nursing a sick or injured bird back to health and will often recommend euthanasia when the odds are actually in favour of the pigeon making a full recovery.  They might also recommend euthanasia for any pigeon that is showing nervous symptoms or that is unreleasable.

If there is no vet listed in your area, please see if there is a branch of Companion Care near you. We have always found that they are compassionate towards wildlife.

Vets are not obliged to give free or reduced treatment to wildlife, although some do.  But please don’t ask or expect this of them .

01375 399 033This surgery has a postal diagnostic testing service for pigeons.I spoke to the surgery about treating feral pigeons, they said it probably depended on what was going to happen to the pigeon afterwards…if you take a pigeon in it will be best to ask them to treat it as a pet rather than risk it being handed over to the RSPCA for automatic euthanasia.

Recommended by a client who said : In my experience all the vets there are excellent and caring but the owner, Rob, is particularly skilled and compassionate and Melissa used to work at a wildlife rescue so potentially has pigeon experience.
