Dr. Foster claims to be an avian vet, however after the incident, I found out he is not certified or registered as an avian vet. I took my lovebird there to have his beak trimmed, and nails trimmed-(if necessary). When Dr. Foster came into exam room to see my lovebird, after looking at him, and I looked over his nails again, told Dr. Foster-DO NOT TRIM HIS NAILS, it's not needed. I don't have any certification, but anyone could tell the bird didn't need his nails trimmed. Dr. Foster took my bird in the back away from me, which I always have my animals with me under these conditions. When my lovebird was brought back to me, he seemed fine, covered his cage and left, but upon getting him home, there was blood all over the cage. I had steptic powder to put on his foot to control the bleeding, or the bird would have died. Dr. Foster is not my primary vet, I only took him to him because my primary vet was on vacation. I called Dr. Foster, and told him that I wanted him to pay for my vet bill for my primary vet, since he was the cause of the additional bill. My vet said it was a very botched job, and was surprised the this vet did this, he got his entire nail off. My vet had to put my lovebird on pain meds for several days, because he couldn't stand on the leg at all. I spoke to Dr. Foster telling him I felt he should either reimburse for what I paid him, or pay for the new bill. He would do neither, and then admitted that he was not an avian vet that he claims to be, and I will file a complaint with the Veterinary Association also. This man should not be practicing as something he apparently knows nothing about, nor certified to handle birds. I could have taken this to small claims court, but haven't so far. My total cost for this was $150.00 for his botched job, and the bill for taking him to my vet.
