Highly pathogenic avian influenza in Colorado

Due to the high transmissibility of this virus to all avian patients, if you have poultry or waterfowl pets coming in for an appointment, they must be admitted through our isolation ward.

For questions about bringing your poultry or waterfowl pet in for an appointment, call (970) 297-5000.
