My duck has been ill for weeks! With few options around me, I tried another online “vet” which was a wild waste of my time and money. Dr. Elena was efficient, knowledgeable, and very helpful! I’m finally going to get the meds my duck needs and hopefully she will be well soon. Thank you!

Unfortunately it was not what we wanted to hear with our hamster. She was very knowledgeable and kind. I would definitely use her again if needed.
