Does
your family include domestic ducks or geese? Do
you know that if your pet duck becomes ill and
requires blood work your vet will have to
compare their results with those of their
distant Mallard cousins? Worse yet, if your pet
goose becomes ill, your vet may have no choice
but to compare their blood work with those of
swans!
Non-flying, domesticated waterfowl are not the
same as their wild counterparts. Too many pets
like Golly Gander have lost their lives due to
the lack of relevant medical information
available to veterinarians, but that’s all about
to change.
Majestic Waterfowl Sanctuary, The Garey Gaggle,
All Friends Animal Hospital, Collierville Animal
Clinic & Antec Laboratories are in the midst of organizing Blood Panel Testing for
healthy domestic ducks and geese.
As a
result of The Golly Project, Blood
Panel Results will be distributed directly into
the hands of vets all across the country and
together we will make a difference in the lives
of our feathered friends.
In the
meantime, while we continue to gather samples, here are
a few blood panels for your vet to utilize in helping
understand your pet's blood work.
