Possible Merek's Infection, Need Help Confirming, Please?

[MysteryChicken]

Maybe just become a customer with your other pets. My vet really has helped me incertain situations, but we have a decades-long relationship. The vet near you may just not want to get into the chicken business for some reason, or might not feel comfortable enough.

I left a review on their site, would you like to see what their reply was?

Sure. Glad that you got the antibiotic ointment.

Okay.

Well that makes sense that their practice doesn’t feel comfortable treating chickens.

She's a pet, not a food animal, plus there are actually house chickens now. People who have chickens as household pets.
Do you think they might decide to expand their field of practice sometime in the future?

If this veterinarian isn't interested in treating chickens, that's fair. Better to be up front about it. rather than muddling through without caring about how to do things!
Call around and find someone who might be interested! Ideally, there's a veterinarian who has chickens, or a staff member with chickens, and is interested.
Nobody can learn everything about every species!!!
Having enough clients who have poultry, and who are willing to SPEND MONEY on them, is a big part of the problem, unless the individual vet has a personal interest in that species.
