A Day in the Life of
an Avian Vet
CAFA will be bringing back one its most popular speakers, Dr. Nicholas Sitinas, to start off the 2010 season of programs on March 9th. Dr. Sitinas, co-owner of South Wilton Veterinary Group and Diplomate in Avian Practice, will be telling us what’s involved in the busy day of an avian vet. What types of cases come in? What should a well-bird visit consist of? What happens when a sick bird comes in? What labwork can be done on birds and what does it mean? How do you draw blood from a bird? How do you give oxygen to a bird? What diagnostic studies can be done on birds? What’s involved in microchipping? And much much more! Come hear Dr. Sitinas regale us with stories from his busy practice and learn what really goes on behind the scenes! |

kept informed as to what's going on in the effort or wish to
help in the effort, form a neighborhood watch or perhaps
volunteer your property as a sanctuary for these innocent
victims. We are in need of property owners in the area where the
birds nest, to allow alternative nest platforms to be erected on
their property.
