Caring for Your Whole Pet Family

Almost about a year ago, my cockatiel (Capella) became very sick. I had been in and out of veterinary offices, the emergency vet, and a vet up in Durham. I decided to try middle creek, as everything the previous vets had done was not working. My first of many visits with middle creek were a great experience. The staff were all very kind and were gentle/caring with Capella, she definitely loved all the attention she received under their care. I felt that the services were reasonable and affordable. We saw a different vet every time when we had an appointment, and they were all very caring and informative. We had tried numerous antibiotics with no luck, so we proceeded with an X-ray. Unfortunately, masses were found in her lungs, so they referred me to NC State to look into it more in-depth. The vet that gave me the referral was very empathetic toward my situation and showed much concern for Capella. The vet did not sugarcoat the situation and was honest, which I greatly appreciate due to the fact that Capella was suffering and it was an urgent case. When I took her to NC State, unfortunately they discovered she had a rare form of cancer in her lungs and there was nothing we could do, so I had to make the hard decision to put her to rest. I’m extremely grateful for all the staff at Middle Creek and for being so involved with Capella’s care, as well as her well-being. Everyone was very helpful and made the many months-long battle a little less stressful. I know that Capella had appreciated everything they did for her as well, in trying to make her feel better. Capella’s pain came to an end in August 2022, but I’m writing this review now to give a big thank you to all the staff at Middle Creek vet!
