No they are not. I checked with a Dr. Wright. In fact my own vet can’t prescribe for a bird she hasn’t seen before. When she was out I needed meds which the clinic refills but the attending vet said I had to bring the bird in!@saroj12 Could you ask your online AV if she is legally allowed to script out medication if warranted for one of your birds? Or would she be ethic bound to just encourage you to “seek care”?
In the human world, sites like these are a very grey area. Prescribing is often not allowed, because those sites don’t count as tele-medicine and are rather “consultation” only. So no doctor-patient relationship is established.
