Yeah, I'd get Chessie, pay the bill, and leave. Then make an appointment at the University...I had no idea it was this bad...
Their ears are connected to their eyes, their sinuses, and their throat...I mean this is medicine/anatomy/physiology 101...And whenever their is a loss of coordination/disorientation, the very first thing you should think is a middle/inner ear infection, which birds get just as often as any other animal because of what they are connected to...A sinus, eye, or throat infection can easily spread to the ears...And i won't even comment on "not doing Fecals anymore because they have been debunked", that's just this vet patronizing you Yumgrinder, he knows that this isn't true, but he thinks you don't know it...He is probably planning on sending Chessie home with some Baytril...Just get her out of there, don't leave her...If they can't or won't do the blood-draw in front of you while you're there, then just leave and call the University and get an appointment. This guy is scaring me too, and I don't usually get scared with Vets, I might not agree with them, but they don't scare me...This guy scares me. And besides, the best you're going to get out of this visit is Chessie's weight...Telling you that "They can't test for PDD" is a lie, obviously...So if you ask yourself why he's directly lying to you about not being able to test for PDD when he knows that your last bird that was there DIED of PDD...something isn't right here...
Either this guy is in a hurry and just doesn't want to deal with your bird or a bird today, or he's patronizing you and being a dick on purpose, either way he's lied to your face and said things that are just flat-out false. So I'd not trust him at all. I don't know if he really doesn't know what he's doing or he just doesn't care and can't be bothered with a bird today, either way I'd get her out of there and get her to a real Vet, because this guy is scary..
