Birds need gentle handling with lots of TLC when they are ill

It is important to note the birds are masters at hiding illness, and far too often we are presented with a bird that seemed just fine recently, but is now at the bottom of the cage. Many of these birds do not recover since the disease process has been going on for longer than you imagined. Any bird that shows even the slightest sign of illness needs to be examined immediately.

It is amazing what intelligent animals like this Macaw can get themselves into. Luckily this was easily remedied, as opposed to many serious diseases the affect birds. 

The Long Beach Animal Hospital, staffed with emergency vets, is available until the evenings 7 days per week to help if your bird is having a problem. Think of us as your Long Beach Animal Emergency Center to help when you need us for a sick bird or any other animal.

We serve all of Los Angeles and Orange county with our Animal Emergency Center Long Beach, and are easily accessible to most everyone in southern California via Pacific Coast Hwy or the 405 freeway.

If you have an emergency that can be taken care of by us at the Animal Emergency Hospital Long Beach always call us first (562-434-9966) before coming in so that our veterinarians can advise you on what to do at home and so that our staff and doctor can prepare for your arrival. To learn more please read our Emergency Services page.
