Lisa Shea Forums Parakeets General Parakeet Chat Vet tomorrow!!

Ok so i'm takeing my keet Lily tomorrow to my local vet! They take keets! and i was wondering if wut they do is at a good price?

Nails clipped- 7
Beak Trim- 13
Wings clipped- 12
Check up- maybe 34 dollars for each bird!

I asked how much would it cost to bring in 3 keets..... she told me that it would maybe a lil over 34 dollars b/c the birds are rather small but it may depend on the vet that sees them

Deal? or NO Deal?

I think the wing clipping price may be a bit steep. They probably don't need the beak trimming and may not need the nail trimming. The $34 for a check-up is reasonable.

This pix right here i showed someone and they said my Lily's beak needed to be trimmed...... what do u think?

no 4keets lily needs the beak trimming, the others dont, but lilys does. look at that pic.! lol

and the prices dont sound to bad to me, my vet was gonna charge me 40 for wing clipping lmfaooooooooooooooo i learned how to do it myself reallllllll fast!!!!! but most vets are alot cheaper then that.

Whoa... I hadn't seen Lily's beak before. Yes, Lily does need a beak trim. The others don't. My vet tries to charge $15 for wing clipping. There is a bird store near me that charges $2.50. I either go to the bird store or do it myself. 6 Bud Nut $40 is absolutely sickening!!

if ur talking about the yellow one then ya! it needs its beak trimmed

lol!! i know what u mean! I know it's cheap for 12 dollars but i think i can maybe clip them myself!! haha!! nails too! even tho it take a minute to get hem to hold still! but after that they're ok.... maybe next week or later i'm going to get them all check ups! but as for right now i'm just getting Lily's beak trim b/c thats all i have money for at the moment! And i'm going to ask tomorrow if Lily is a girl or boy and come back home and tell everyone how ma birdie did!!

Have the vet clip the wings and have her teach you how to do it. I don't know if I would clip their nails. There is a fair amount of risk in doing that because you can easily clip a blood vessel. I personally take them in to get that done.

well you really need to educate yourself on how to clip befor attemping it yourself, because they need to be clipped in a certain direction also only certain feathers get clipped and your risking clipping a bloodfeather you should really have your vet show you how to do it the first time.
