Poultry Services
We provide treatment and advice for our wide range of poultry clients, be it small backyard flocks or large commercial units. We also have years of experience working with game-birds on local estates.
We are happy to see individual birds at our surgery for examination and treatment, but also offer site visits and inspections for any flock based problems. Should it prove necessary we are able to carry out in house post-mortems to provide rapid diagnosis, with culture and sensitivity results to aid quicker decisions on treatments.
At our practices in Kirriemuir and Blairgowrie we stock all kinds of poultry medicines, from routine prophylactic parasitic treatments for worms, lice and mites, as well as prescription medicines required for more serious disease problems. Should you wish to discuss any problems you have pertaining to poultry or game birds then please contact us and speak to the team.
Backyard flock vaccine club
We are excited to introduce our Backyard Flock Vaccine Club, designed to make it as simple and convenient as possible to protect your birds from a wide range of illnesses, viruses, and bacteria. Whether you have a small backyard flock or a larger group of poultry, our club is here to help ensure that your birds stay healthy and thriving.
Here’s how it works: We purchase vaccines in bulk and carefully package them into single doses that are ready for you to administer at home. Most of the vaccines are designed to be given as eye drops, which makes them easy and stress-free to apply. In some cases, vaccines may need to be administered via injection, but don’t worry—we provide clear instructions to guide you through the process.
To get started, simply let us know in advance how many doses you’ll need for your flock. On the designated pick-up day, you can collect your pre-packaged doses from our Kirriemuir branch. It’s a quick and easy process, but it’s essential to be prepared—once you pick up the vaccines, you have just two hours to administer them to your birds to ensure their effectiveness.
We recommend planning ahead to have everything you need ready before you collect your vaccines, so you can go straight from pick-up to application without any delay. This ensures that your birds receive the best possible protection right when they need it.
Our Backyard Flock Vaccine Club is all about providing you with peace of mind, knowing that your poultry is safeguarded against potential health threats. Join us today and take the hassle out of keeping your flock healthy!
