How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Avian & Exotic Animal Clinic

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

So I took my mouse in for an emergency checkup yesterday due to some respiratory issues I noticed. It was the first time we had ever been here, 2hr drive. My appointment was at 11am, I arrived at 10:35-10:45am and they immediately took him back. It took over an hour for them to call me back and ask me about his history. Which is understandable, they had a really high volume of emergencies that day. Once taken back the nurse told me he didn’t know what the doctor would be doing after her exam/for lunch and just to sit tight in the back exam room. Doctor comes in, in a rush runs through my mouses treatment & diagnoses. And then all of a sudden tells me they’ll be closing in a few minutes for a “staff meeting.” I had 0 time to ask questions. (I watched them DoorDash food+the nurse mentioned lunch, it was most likely their lunchtime) Mind you, my mouse was already examined and his medication was already written up. They told me this at 12:00pm. They weren’t going to open again until 1:30. So I couldn’t have my mouse and I couldn’t pay for over an hour and a half even though he was literally done being looked at. I watched as the last person who came in after me with a sick ferret walk out with medication and their animal after I was told they weren’t going to be able to check me out. Keep in mind, I told them I wasn’t from here and had a 2hr drive. I was NOT about to go explore busy Indianapolis during lunch rush hour. It was my first time in the city alone, it was a struggle getting there. So after waiting the hour and a half till 1:30, they finally get me checked out at 1:35. Takes until 1:45 for me to finally get my mouse and his medication. They had NOBODY else wait through their “staff meeting” to pick up their animal. Just absolutely ridiculous customer service, they could’ve spared 15 minutes to get me out of their office so I could’ve gone home 2 hours sooner knowing I had driven so far. The staff was friendly but no apologies for the wait either. 3 1/2 hours at the vet and $250 later.

Very friendly and helpful staff/doctors! They took care of my guinea pig who woke up having issues using her back legs. They got her in promptly, were very transparent about prices, confirmed prices before running any tests, etc. They provided the needed medication and she seems to be improving already! Highly recommend!

Had to call in the middle of the night for a respiratory issue with one of our guinea pigs. The on call doctor gave us good advice that helped and then when we called next day, we were able to get a quick appointment for her. Very friendly, courteous and provided great care. Price was reasonable as well. Highly recommend for your exotic animals heathcare needs.
