Saving the ducklings - you're all awesome

Watching the vets and nurses put so much effort to save and rescue the 6 duckling and rear them has been amazing - even doing a CT scan on 1 with neurological disease = 5 stars from me .

Approximate cost: $300

Extremely thankful and grateful for Pet Medical Crisis and the team at Bird Vet Melbourne for funding and taking care of my baby when she really needed help to remove a lump. Without PMC's help, I would never have been able to afford to get her the surgery she needed. Dr Phil is amazing, knowledgeable, caring and very professional. The team at Bird Vet Melbourne specialise in birds and are extremely passionate about being able to help sick birds in need. Highly recommended if you have a sick bird. Also recommend talking to the lovely team at Pet Medical Crisis if you have an emergency and need help funding it!

I highly recommend Dr Phil and Dr Ruth. They are very knowledgeable and passionate about the care they deliver. I must thank Dr Ruth for looking after my sick cockatiel so well recently. My bird had a blood test one Saturday morning which turned out to be quite abnormal. I received a phone call at about 7pm that night and was given the bad news. She was very kind, in no hurry to go and answered all my questions. With the treatment she started he is now back to his old self but with ongoing health problems.

Thank you Bird Vet Melbourne for saving my bird!

I took my cockatiel Peako to the vet when I noticed he was vomiting.

After a few seconds into the examination, the vet knew immediately what was wrong.
Peako had been chewing on natural rope that I used in his cage to tie toys/branches. He had ingested a concerning amount of this fibre & if not acted on fast by an Avarian specialist, would have resulted in death as it was sitting in his stomach impacting his digestion.

I adore my little guy to bits & would never dream of doing anything to harm him.

Unfortunately, Avarian vets see fibre impaction regularly as almost all bird toys contain some element of rope.

If you have rope in your birds cage I highly recommend removing it immediately.

Please please please be aware of what you are providing your bird. Rope toys look pretty & fun but they are just not worth it.

Over many years this practice, Dr. Phil and the staff, have provided outstanding service and care for whatever creatures we have brought to the clinic, whether mammalian or avian, and always at a reasonable cost. We cannot recommend them highly enough, and hope that they flourish so we can be assured of being able to access the continuing high level of expert care that we owe to our birds and animals.

The Vets are good with chickens, and understand the great relationship that people have with chickens and they they are pets.

Dr Phil and the amazing nurses here are awesome. I had a very sick cockatiel and from the moment we arrived they were awesome. Very caring and treatment was started immediately as she wasn't very well at all. After a couple of days with them she came home in much better health. The service here was top notch. Was even given a mobile number when we came home to send updates over the weekend or ask any questions while the clinic was closed. Don't get that kind of service many places these days.

They may be called 'Bird Vet Melbourne', but I have been taking my dog here for over a decade.

It is a small practice, and so they do get to know their clients better than many larger vets. They are all friendly and thoroughly competent.

I have no hesitation in recommending bird-vet.com to others for general vet practice

Can't speak any more highly of Dr Phil, and their amazing staff . We had our spoodle Lucy desexed. The updates with texts, photos and phone calls have been so appreciated. It's comforting to know that Lucy is being cared for with such compassion and care. she is back at home, as active as ever, and completely over her surgery. It was comforting knowing that we could contact Dr Phil the Vet literally at any time we needed guidance or had any concerns; We had his mobile number!! Thanks"

Dr Esther, nurse Georgina and all the vet nurses were fantastic, helpful and full of immediate information regarding helping my Canaries get over their respiritory illnesses. Extremely accessible in person and over the phone. They saved all 6 canaries lives with quick,accurate and timely diagnosis, treatment and aftercare. They genuinely were interested in helping me and my birds. Thankyou.

Excellent care of my pet Canary - needing an operation on his feather cysts.
Excellent pre-operative information and discussion of the pros and cons of the procedure.
Excellent post procedure care and notes.
Excellent information to pass on to my usual vets - on the other side of town.

Nothing is to much trouble, and the extra care and advice, is far beyond the minimum required or expected. The great service is consistent. Con't thank Dr Phil enough for all the help he has provided through the years.

Bird Vet Melbourne - Professional, Caring, Compassionate. Honesty, caring for a very special family member aged 45 yrs. Our "Barney" a Sulphur crested cockatoo, has "Beak and Feather" disease, and her care here is superb! Experts in the field of Avian medicine, I would not even think about taking my bird anywhere else

Without the caring help from Burwood Bird and Animal Hospital I would find it almost impossible to look after my chickens alone. Dr Phil Sacks has always been a great man to deal with. Highly recommended, they are thorough friendly caring and always helpful.
