Let's do this!
Sometimes birds come to us after they've been unwell for a long time. The owners didn't recognise the signs because birds are masters at hiding their illness 🦜

We will be discussing the common disease conditions we see and how we can prevent them 🏥🩺
This webinar is open to Bird owners, Veterinary Students and Veterinarians.

Just saw a news article by
It's going to be another shouting match between "animal lovers" and "people lovers". What no one addresses is how this can be solved so that people and animals are unharmed.
How do we reduce the stray animal population?
-Spay and Neuter!!!
- Adopt Indie dogs and cats so that they don't have to live on the streets!

It is the responsibility of the people who feed and care for these animals to get them neutered and vaccinated. Your responsibility does not end at just feeding them. They deserve better.
Throwing food on the road is littering. Dignify them with a bowl. Our streets will be clean and so will the animals health.

Be a responsible citizen and a real animal lover by doing what's right by the animals.

There are many NGO's working tirelessly to help reduce the stray animal population. All you have to do is get in touch. Or speak to a nearby vet!

Some of these NGO's are:

Now that we're slowly coming out of the kite string injuries, we're now seeing many displaced baby birds.
This is our third baby Kite 🦅this month. Unfortunately, someone decided that they wanted to keep beautiful raptor as a pet. It was rescued from a place where it's legs were tied up. They even clipped it's wing feathers. For reasons we can't fathom, people believe that they are doing a great service to a wild animal by keeping it captive and feeding it.
Luckily this bird was brought in before any major damage was done. We're now waiting for it's feathers to grow back so that it can be released.

Please do not keep wild birds as pets. Not Alexandrine parakeets, not rose ringed parakeets, not kites, not owls. Our Wildlife needs conservation and protection from the cruel pet trade.

Join us in saving our wild animals by reporting illegal pet trade. Never buy Indian wildlife from a pet shop. If you find and injured bird, please contact us or a wildlife ngo.

In our endeavour to serve our community animals, we're having a Spay and Neuter Camp for Cat's in February!
Many of them lose their lives because they can't find homes and are left on the streets. Populations will keep increasing.
The camp is from February 1st to 10th, 2023 at both our branches. Please register in advance to help stray cats around you.

All of us recently celebrated the harvest festival all over India.
Makar Sankranti or Uttrayan also known as the kite flying festival is unfortunately a very busy time for Avian veterinarians. Hordes of birds get cut by the nylon and glass coated manjha/kite string.
I spent time this year in Jaipur teaching aspiring Avian vets and students surgery. I wish I could say we had a low case load this year, but that wasn't the case.
I was fortunate to be working beside the brilliant vets from .ac and our own
I also gave a talk at the conference organised by and
It was great to see so many eager learners. organises these camps every year and they work tirelessly to help Wildlife around them.

I am so grateful to my family for supporting me and my tiny 9 month old through this! The only reason I've been able to get back to work fully is because has been by my side throughout.

Birds don't deserve this. No "pet" should be kept this way.
Not only are these cages a health hazard, they are too small to provide any comfort to the bird.
If you plan of getting a legal bird into your home, you first need to make sure you have the space that it needs. Stainless steel is the safest material that can be used to make a bird cage.
Painted cages pose a risk of lead poisoning as the paint may contain lead and birds tend to chew at the cage bars.
Birds need a cage at least 3 times their size to live in comfortably. Yes, even Budgies need a large cage, especially since there are usually more than one in a household.
Let's be responsible towards birds and animals we bring into our homes. We owe them that much.

PS. Alexandrine parakeets are protected under The Wildlife Protection Act of India, 1972. You can be jailed for keeping them as pets. Please do not encourage the illegal trade of these birds. Do not buy them or pick them up if you find them.
You can contact us or a wildlife ngo to help do the right thing for them.

It's one of those days where I'm really contemplating human behaviour and the effect it has on pets.
I wonder why people think vets are out to get them or that what they say is completely inaccurate and they would rather trust the breeder/chemist/trainer etc. If something is going well, that's great. But, if something were to not go as planned, it's our fault. Despite explaining the severity of a condition, the corrective measures, the risks involved, treatment guidelines are not followed and we're brought back a patient in a far worse condition than the last time we saw them.
Losing a patient because of a preventable condition is the worst. It's that sinking feeling. A feeling of helplessness. We have to pick ourselves back up to be our best version for our next patient. It can get exhausting.
I hate being defensive about something I know I've given my absolute best to.

Take care of your loved ones. Take them to regular check ups so that nothing is missed. We love them just as much as you do. Pets are definitely a privilege and we need to do what's right by them.

To start off, this is not about religion or religious beliefs. This is about a reptile, the most majestic and ancient of it's kind, fed an unnatural diet.
The image being circulated is not of Babiya. This is of a crocodile in Costa Rica.

Sometimes our need to "humanise" our pets and other animals leads to their health being adversely affected. Turtles and tortoises 🐢 are fed Paneer, Roti, Rice etc. Iguana's 🦎 are fed dog and cat food. Snakes 🐍 are fed milk.
Reptiles definitely do not make easy pets. They have very specific environmental and dietary needs, if not met will lead to their poor health and welfare.

Before making the decision of getting a pet home, it's best to do read up about their care or speak to a veterinarian.

RIP Babiya. Now you can roam wild and free.

We're all going to enjoy those Diwali goodies, but let's not feed our pets any! No sweets 🍰, no chocolates 🍫, no fried food 🍟! Let's try not have any preventable emergencies so that we can all enjoy this festive season 🪔

Happy Diwali 🪔🪔

World Animal Day or World Animal Welfare Day is celebrated to remind us how important Animal Welfare is and why we need to practice it.
With pets, it's even more important for pet owners to learn and practice it. Pet care does not only comprise of feeding and shelter. Pets need to be fed the right food for them, they need exercise and enrichment. They also need love and affection.
With exotic pets, they also need to be kept in the right environment for them. All pets need timely medical care from a qualified professional.
These are just a few of the basic things animals need and deserve.
Let's celebrate our furry, feathery and scaley companions! They silently give our lives so much meaning. Thank for loving us❤️❤️

Rabbits (Lagomorphs) and Rodents have open rooted teeth; which means their teeth grow continuously. They require daily wear and tear in order to maintain them. This can only be done by including good quality hay in their diet. The teeth grow by 2mm every 2 weeks!!

As seen here, the molars and pre-molars of this rabbit are overgrown and have formed painful spurs which injure the delicate cheek tissue.
To diagnose dental malocclusion or dental disease in Rabbits and Rodents, we need to do a thorough physical examination and take radiographs to assess the level of dental disease.

We burred the teeth down for this rabbit under general anaesthesia. He is now on a better diet to maintain his dental health but will need regular dentals to keep his teeth healthy.

Happy Doctor's to all the amazing doctors everywhere. Thank you for all your hardwork.

World Veterinary Day is celebrated on the last Saturday of April every year. The theme this year is “Strengthening Veterinary Resilience”.
We have all been through alot in the last couple of years. The only reason many of us have stayed on in the profession is because of our passion for what we do. A huge salute to our teams and community that keeps us going. To our amazing patients that give us unconditional love and our understanding clients who make the effort worth it.
To all the brilliant vets out there, here's to you and all that you do!

You got it so right!!

Phone/Online📱 consultations be like....

It genuinely is very hard to diagnose and treat an animal on the phone🐹🤳🏾. They can't talk to us to tell us what's wrong and without an actual physical examination with diagnostics, we can't come to the right diagnosis.

Especially during the worst part of the Pandemic 🦠, we really had to try to make this work and modify our protocols. Hopefully that's all behind us now!

We even do long distance consults in other states for exotics🦎🐢🦜🐇🐁. It's very challenging and very frustrating at times. But we can make it work if we work with the Veterinarians already present there and they become our eyes, ears and hands.

Let's practice good medicine! Please bring in your pets for examination and treatment.
