I saved the single one Avian Vet 's info in this area and he is no longer work there! Then I called a few vets may see chickens without an Avian Vet liscense, and they are either booked up for next few weeks or not seeing chickens anymore! Anybody have any idea where can I find an avian vet in center PA area?

New Bolton in South Eastern PA--I also know a Delaware Avian vet--maybe call New Bolton and ask for a reference? 610-444-5800

Seriously! I don’t get upset if a bird drops dead in the coop, but when I see one is struggling, I lose my mind trying to save it.

Same here. Chickens will die, but I don’t want them to have a bad time at the end.

I just found Central Pennsylvania Veterinary Emergency Treatment Services will see chickens. Waiting for them to send me a form to fill now. They just see any pet animals and are not specialized at birds. That's the only one I find in this area.

I'm sorry, It's so hard to find anyone that treats chickens anywhere How about Metzger's animal hospital in State College? I know they're an emergency vet and I believe they treat horses but I'm not sure about chickens. Locally, we had a vet (the one we were using for our cat) suddenly close. Totally understandable as he was having heart problems but it was very sudden so every vet within an hour of them is jam packed with new patients just trying to get in somewhere :/

To be honest, I don't trust Metzger. When one of my cats was a kitten and I just brought him to check his diahrea problem, they pulled his teeth out wihtout telling me! He just chewed the cat carrier and that made his front teeth a little loose. And they didn't find his problem anyway. I brought him to a different vet, and she found he was allerge to his food.

I’m sorry I can’t help you in Central PA, but for us Southeasterners, Dr. Bob DiGregorio at Boot Road Veterinary Clinic in West Chester will see chickens. He is an avian vet who deals mostly with parrots and I think he is a racing pigeon hobbyist. All his info is on http://www.bootroadvet.com.

I made an appointment at 6:30. However, when I came home to pick up Henny, she’s already gone. Thanks for everybody’s help! I will send her to Penn State for necropsy.

I am so sorry, it is so frustrating when there are so few places to turn for help. Hopefully the necropsy will provide more definitive answers and perhaps pursue the vet appointment (even if done virtually) to help establish a relationship with the vet so you can have a game plan in place for future emergencies.

Oh wow! We only ever went there once years ago when my dog was attacked by the neighbor's two pit bulls and they were wonderful by that was my only experience.
