Meet Handsome Zak

Meet Handsome Zak...

Zak is a 28 year old African Grey Parrot who went under an endoscopy procedure to investigate his sinus problems and to take a lung biopsy.

The procedure started by inserting a catheter via his wing for fluids and the area for the endoscopy prepped for theatre.

As with any procedure, this kind always carries a risk and we needed to work quickly but effectively as a team.

Zak recovered extremely well and was able to go home shortly after. We’ll check in with Zak shortly.

Our Exotic Vet Sergio Silvetti was assisted by Head Exotic Nurse Kirsty RVN C&G cert VNES APVN (ZOO) and Exotic Nurse Jess RVN C&G cert VNES APVN (ZOO).
