What to ask when you call

Not sure what a good answer sounds like? See how to find a duck vet.

  • Their site lists waterfowl as patients — ask whether the avian vet is in on the day you need to come.
  • Ask for the exam fee up front, and what bloodwork or X-rays add on top.
  • Ask whether they are taking new avian patients.
  • Ask where they send after-hours emergencies. The nearest 24-hour clinic we list is Hawthorne Animal Hospital, 31 miles away.
