Does anyone know of a vet that cares for birds in the area? I’ve got to get our pet parakeet to a vet, and can’t find one. I’ve found a few that list that they care for birds, but the vets aren’t in or only in one day a week. Anyone with birds know of anyone?
This is a list of local vets that see birds. It is updated regularly. https://www.pearlparrots.com/avian-vets
I’ve used Dr. Wagner many times. He is wonderful. Very knowledgeable and compassionate.
Bethel Park Animal Clinic and White Oak Veterinary Clinic.
Thank you…. White Oak is closest, but doesn’t sound like their bird guy is available… I have an appt for Thursday at Bethel Park…
If you remember to, would appreciate a report back. I have taken my rabbit to see Dr. Backus, but haven’t made an appointment for my parrot yet.
I will do that!
Thank you all so much. Back to the phone.
Thank you all SOOO much! This is what makes Pittsburgh so wonderful!!
I think I’ve done all I can for now… Keeping her stable and safe until the vet can see her Thursday.
May I ask what's going on with her? I also have parakeets, not that I have any vet experience. They're such awesome budgie buddies :)
She fell off her perch and injured her cere… Bleeding was minimal, and stopped. The worry is why did she fall? This happened once before about a year ago… Scared us pretty good, then the next day she was back to normal and fine for a year… This morning after seeing her injury I watched her all day and she fell twice more… Can’t tell what caused what, but something’s wrong. She is the oldest of our group, and the sweetest, with the most personality I’ve ever seen in ANY pet… My daughter, and the rest of us too, will be heartbroken if something happens to her. Moved her to a smaller cage, (not as high) just in case she falls again. Other than that and ‘wobbling’ a little, she seems fine. Going to be a stressful couple of days until I can see someone.
Oh no, I'm so very sorry, I truly hope she makes a quick and complete recovery ♥️
Yeah, we take our cockatiel to Animal General in Cranberry. They have two locations that the avian vet visits. The other one is called Gardens Veterinary Hospital.
Second this. Dr. Mark is amazing. He saved our bunny’s life!
In Gibsonia is a place called paws and talons, they might be what you're looking for.
Have used them they are great
It’s not on the list but I’m pretty sure Dr Winnie at Greenfield Vet sees birds too.
Edit: just saw on their website that they aren’t accepting new avian clients right now. Sorry. ☹️
Thanks for trying! Appreciate it!
No problem. If it’s any comfort, I use Bethel Animal Clinic and they are all wonderful there.
Dr Wagner at North Boros. Gotta email him directly, don't call North Boros.

West Liberty Animal Hospital sees birds.
