Update to Avian Vet Recommendations in Central Illinois?

Recommended Avian Vet in Central Illinois?

I'm traveling to the Bloomington-Normal area for my mother's memorial service and would love to have an Avian Vet's number handy in case it is needed. I'm hoping anyone who contributed to the old thread (2012) linked above might have some recommendations. I would be so grateful!!

Dr. Welle is still around. He's mentioned in that thread but he's not in Bloomington/ Normal.

I drove from St. Louis to take my amazon to him. MC passed away on April 28 of this year but Welle literally saved his life months prior in a very risky surgery to remove a tumor. Sadly, we ultimately discovered the tumor was cancerous and had spread.

Try this website. Of course any member in that area who has experience with an AV is your best resource.

I just looked at the AAV site, and there is an avian vet with the Pekin Animal Hospital, and of course, the University of Illinois. Interestingly, Dr. Lafeber (of nutriberry fame) is in Cornell, IL.
