BTW, I have taken birds to the vet. I take them to the vet if I have the money, and it's something beyond my ability to fix, and if afterwards I think they will have a normal life. Reasons: First, I have a lot of rare poultry, it would be a pain and set me back pretty far (sometimes years) if I have to try to get new stock. Second, many of my birds are older, so providing vet care goes along with providing retirement for the oldsters. Third, I like having definitive guidance from a vet when I encounter a problem that requires his expertise. (We have a major avian vet clinic nearby, lots of bird experience.) Lastly, I seldom have health problems for any of my birds, so vet visits are few and far between.
You are very fortunate to have excellent avian vets available to you. Seems like it's hard for most people to find a good vet to see even a common budgie/parakeet!

I am interested in duck shoes! Where can I see them? (I might want some for my first aid kit - keeping feet clean is a challenge, and you never know when you might need shoes)
I'll PM you with info.
