When your pet is sick in the weekend, who you gonna call?…read more This is one of the two animal hospitals in Copenhagen that has opening hours in the weekend for emergency cases when other animal clinics are closed. One of my cockatiels Chris got sick last Saturday, he was suddenly lethargic and released weird color excrement and started to vomit as well. As a long-term bird owner, I know that birds are extremely good in hiding their disease. Once they're showing it, usually it's almost always too late. That's why I got panicky last Saturday when Chris looked very ill, I called the hospital telling that we were on our way, got a cab and went there. I was aware that the on-duty vet was not an avian specialist (it sucks sometimes when you have a parrot, because most animal clinics are only for dogs and cats - this is why I go to Kongelundens Dyreklinik usually) but he was a vet nonetheless. It was Saturday evening at 6pm-ish and there was no waiting apart from a patient before me (I heard the waiting time at the Animal University Hospital in Frederiksberg is hellish) although we had to wait for around half an hour, it was not that bad. The vet - Martin Bøje - was checking Chris gently and he weighed him in. He said that he thought Chris was a healthy bird physically but he got enteritis, and that he was glad that I brought him in relatively early so it could be treated with antibiotics. He gave him a shot and packed some antibiotics for me to give him at home for the next 3 days. All in all it was very quick yet I felt it was also thorough (although I usually asked for poop analysis at the usual clinics). More waiting time after was probably because of administration business, when the vet students had to pack the antibiotics and showed me how to give him the medicine. I'm no novice when it comes to birds, but it's nice that they are also very thorough in showing pet owners what to do. It's obviously always more expensive to go to this emergency vet in the weekend than the usual animal clinics, but it's totally worth it. After all, you can always get more money but nothing can replace your pet, right? Update: my Chris is getting better now, the medicine and treatment helps so that's a plus from me. This could be a five-star review but I only took one because they didn't have any avian vet on duty.

I took my cats here twice and I was very happy with their treatment both times. Everyone hates…read moregoing to the doctor and cats are notorious for being stressed out about it, so extra care is very much appreciated. This last visit I was also a little stressed myself since I would soon be traveling to another country with my two cats. Dr. Anne Blaxekjær was very patient with both of them and my shy cat even nuzzled her before she settled down in a corner. I have never seen her behave this way at the vet, normally she is sensitive to loud noises or sudden movements, even at home. So seeing her act this way in a tense situation was a very good sign. The vet assured me that I was correct in my research and my cats did not need rabies shots since Denmark is a rabies-free country, although I was a little unsure and she could have easily sold it to me. They just got their normal vaccinations and the proper paperwork to show at customs. Fast forward to the airport and there was absolutely no problem with the papers. The hours at this clinic are pretty much what you would expect; being closed and weekends and right when you get off of work. But on Thursday they are open until 6:30pm, which is nice. The price is high but I doubt you can get these services cheaper at any other vet.
