About Me

Call the bird doctor

I hate seeing my parrot sick. He's such a jolly fellow and is usually the brightest start to the day you can picture. When he gets sick and doesn't seem so chirpy, I feel down all day long. My vet is such a great guy and never thinks I'm being silly when I call him about my parrot not seeming normal. He even does house calls if my parrot is really not feeling great and I don't want to bring him in. If you are looking for a great bird doctor like mine, then keep reading. Birds deserve great care too!

Uveitis is an eye condition that causes the uvea to become inflamed. The uvea is the middle part of the eye and supplies blood to the retina.

If left untreated, uveitis can cause permanent damage to your cat's sight. Read More
