Services for clients

The Chicken Clinic is a 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!

Telemedicine - 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

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

Additional services: worm egg checks / red mite checks / avian influenza biosecurity checks / prescription medications / hormone implants / sample collection / post-mortems / referral for imaging or surgery

  • 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
