Avian influenza is not to be taken lightly. Protect your birds (pet birds and poultry) from exposure to wild birds, especially sayer fowl. Have sick birds seen by your veterinarian and have birds that die unexpectedly necropsied.

If you are thinking about buying or adopting a bunny for Easter, please take some time to make certain you are ready to make an 8-10 year commitment to a new pet. Please don't make a impulsive purchase or adoption. Rabbits are wonderful companions, but require daily feeding and care, spaying neutering, and vaccines. They need companionship from their owners and often do best with another rabbit. We'd be happy to consult with owners new rabbit owners and or refer new owners to rabbit rescue.

Looks like we (mankind) have a long history of keeping tortoises as pets. Turns out that this Hermann’s tortoise was found in a home in Pompeii when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. I'm betting it was someone's pet! ;)

ROME (AP) — Archaeologists in Pompeii have discovered the remains of a pregnant tortoise that had sought refuge in the ruins of a home destroyed by an earthquake in 62 AD, only to be covered by volcanic ash and rock when Mount Vesuvius erupted 17 years later.

Big problems with Bird Flu storming across the country. It's not here on the West Coast, but there's a chance it's coming. Be thoughtful of you but new pet birds or chickens and practice good hygiene so you don't bring Bird Flu, or something else home.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The confirmation of bird flu at another Iowa egg-laying farm will force the killing of more than 5 million chickens, state officials said Friday.

Seems to be a lot of drama over back yard chickens in Sacramento. I'll go out on a limb and say that the program has been a huge success here in San Diego.

All is well at the hospital after a fire burned a building, Cashway Electric, across the street on Morena Blvd. It was classified as a 2 alarm fire with 12 firetrucks and 80 firefighters responding. Luckily the breeze was blowing away from the hospital and there was no danger to the animals there. Our prayers and best wishes go out to Cashway. https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/fire-breaks-out-at-commercial-building-on-morena-blvd/509-93271f20-78ef-45ca-b564-11aaa63fe2be

Auntie Dayna is the best!

Awwww.

More Thanksgiving activity!

Your babies are in good hands with Dayna and Jared this Thanksgiving with some extra loving and a whole lotta music! We are so thankful for our incredible staff.

Bath time! Dayna is the best!

Here's a bird you won't see very often. Meet Roofie. He's a Port Lincoln Parakeet (Barnardius zonarius aka Platycercus zonarius). Roofie's owner saved him from the hawks when she four ff him exhausted on her roof (note you get his name!). Port Lincoln Parakeets are indigenous to the interior of central and south-central Australia, west to central and southeast areas of Western Australia. They have never been legally exported from Australia. This guy may have escaped from a zoo or breeder but his owner was unable to find where he came from.

This was before it was too crazy. This is Lisa posting this. I was only able to help from Canada by dispatching a flood crew to the practice. Our staff is the best of the best!

Meet Papaya (aka Joker), our "Oldest Patient of the Day." Papaya is 52 and full of energy and opinion!

Meet Turbo. He's lived with his family since he was a hatching. Now, at 20 years old, he weighs in at a smidge under 100 lbs! Turbo cracked his beak several years ago so he comes in yearly for his annual exam, a beak trim and to have the crack cleaned and filled. Lately he's had problems eating because his gular, the part of his shell that projects under his chin, has grown so long that he can't reach his food. After taking radiographs and measuring we removed over an inch from both sides of his gular.

Brummmmm . . . Brummmmm . . .

Finished our day with the sensational Zola! She's can be a bit of a stinker but we love her!

Midday was dedicated to Ms Sassy, a Helping Hands Capuchan monkey we've known for many years.

We don't treat pigs. But it sure was a nice treat when the talented Pickles visited us today!

Ooo . . . Yuck! We hate lice!

It's a gorgeous day outside, but it's lookin' a bit grey here at AEAH! Happy Sunday from the grey kids!

Our new friend Parker came to visit us at the San Diego PetExpo today. Here he is showing off a couple of bird calls!

Someone must have tipped off the Arctic terns of Iceland that Dr. Stout was a bird vet because they enthusiastically tried to chase her off the island!
