Having recently visited the Veterinary with a sick Hen, it was apparent that it was incorrectly diagnosed as having worms despite the animal displaying multiple symptoms akin to a common disease called 'Marek's disease'.
Despite eating and drinking well, relative to her circumstance, the limited movement in the hen's limbs rapidly deteriorated to a terminal paralysis and death soon after!
Reasonably so, I'm very disappointed because even though Marek's cannot be cured, with the correct diagnosis and treatment, it can be managed. Moreover, to add insult to injury, the cost (+57 Pounds) of worming treatment and consultation to attend to 1 hen was absolutely disgusting and daylight robbery.
Where the cost had been reasonable, I would have refrained from the review although given the unprofessionalism and expensive yet incorrect treatment my hen received, the review is warranted and a warning to other pet owners, or hens (Small Exotics as the invoice reads)!
PS: If the clinic wishes to refund me, I'm happy to accept 50% as I know you have expensive rates in Ballyclare. Read Less
