The vet doesn't really specialize in waterfowl.You know when a vet says something about an oil gland on the face makes you think gosh do they have one and I never knew after all these years? So googled it.
It amazes me too that someone who has been to Veterinary school wouldn't know that but I guess just like human meds There are those who know the birds anatomy and others who know say dog cat horse. I know once I called our vet about getting an antibiotic for my gander because him and my Muscovy drake got into it and he beat his wings up real bad on the fence fighting she didn't know what was safe but offered to look it up. Now she won't even talk meds about poultry.I find that sad when so many know have back yard flocks. and what do other farmers do when their cow or goat or horse gets sick and there aren't any farm vets around? We don't have any at all. But there are a lot of people who keep these animals plus sheep is getting pop here too. Guess they have to do the treating themselves.
