How to Save Big on Vet Bills?

I own chickens and they have been taking a big chunk out of my wallet. Between their food, supplements, vet care, etc… I also just paid $600 for an autopsy to see why one of my chickens died. Please don’t tell me they are just chickens, because they are my babies. I love them just as anyone would love a dog or even their kid. I need some tips though on how to save on vet bills. It is having a big impact on my wallet. I only feed organic feed to my chickens, which is very expensive. It seems like vet bills keep rising! is there anyway I can save on the vet bills? Can I get pet health insurance for chickens? If I ever have a situation that I cannot afford, will the SPCA help me at all? Would a pet store give me a loan or something? Do veterinarians accept payment plans? I do everything to keep my chickens healthy. All four of my hens are currently very healthy. I feed them organic feed too.

Get a life. As for the food you are feeding them, just because it is organic does not mean it is any better than other foods that are less expensive. I have never heard of health insurance for chickens, and doubt if the SPCA will help you and pet stores would only laugh. Yes, there are vets that will accept a payment plan. Chickens can be susceptable to a lot of different diseases. Just make sure the chicken house is kept clean, that’s the main thing. Make sure they always have lots of clean water. Letting them roam in the yard during the day can prove to be very healthy for them, also. Just make sure they are back in the coop at night so they are safe from predators. If I were you, I would go to the feed store and find a good alternative to the expensive organic feed you are using. There is no proof that it is any better than other feeds. Having pets is like having kids….if you can’t afford them, don’t have them…
