When I said "avian vet" I meant one with experience and training in
caring for birds.  That involves knowing what tests to do if needed,
and being equipped to take samples for tests and provide equipment
for treatment (syringes etc.)  I suspect many if not most vets who
are trained to treat birds also treat other exotics (anything not
a dog or cat: at KSU Vet School the major is Exotic Animals.)
