Going to the Vet!

I’m taking Waddles to the vet on Saturday. I’m deciding whether to take just Waddles or to take Chowder with us. In my experience of raising those two, they don’t do well separated. The doggo carrier I bought today will house both of them I think a little tightly but they’ll fit.

I would bring both so neither are too stressed out. However, if the bird going to the vet has an injury that would be affected by being in close quarters with her sister, I would maybe get a bigger carrier.

I have not seen him get aggressive with her, or harm her at all. I’m sure they’ll be fine.

That's nice that your are considering bringing them both to the vet. I have a pullett who I'm having to isolate right now due to a dog attack. It's her first time being away from her flock, and she's the most social bird I've ever had. I've been considering bringing one of her buddies in to be with her, but am worried the interaction could exacerbate my girls injuries. I have heard that bringing another member of the flock with a bird on a trip to the vet is a good idea though. Good luck.

There is no emergency here correct, just a checkup?

I’m having the vet check out Waddles’ limp. I dont feel confident enough to treat her possible bumblefoot and It will give me an opportunity to meet this avian vet.
