T.J. Lafeber Avian Practitioner Award
Dr. T.J. Lafeber, Sr. was recognized as a pioneer in companion bird medicine and the human-companion bird bond. His concern for the health and welfare of his avian patients led him to develop medical treatments, diagnostic techniques, and nutritionally balanced foods. The T.J. Lafeber Avian Practitioner of the Year is presented annually to an outstanding practitioner who is advancing the quality of health care for companion birds.
Emeraid
“I recently had a Blue & Gold macaw in his late 30’s that required a wing amputation. A surgery like that can be hard on a bird, especially an older bird. [For situations like this] we tube birds for a day or two beforehand to build them up and then afterwards I use Emeraid Omnivore-Avian routinely and regular Emeraid [Emeraid Nutri-Support]. It boosts them up, and eliminates any concerns about marginal food intake post-operatively.”
---Bob Dahlhausen, DVM; owner of Avian and Exotic Animal Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio since 1992

Emeraid Herbivore
I have been very happy with Lafeber products…I am particularly pleased with the herbivore product. Many rabbits and guinea pigs are too critical to be fed what is essentially ground pellets/hay. I often start critical rabbits and guinea pigs on Emeraid Herbivore for 1-2 days, and then transition back to a normal diet. I have seen several cases respond more rapidly than I'd otherwise anticipate with the Lafeber's product--perhaps due to ease of passage through the pylorus and ease of digestion.—Simon Starkey BVSc, PhD, Dipl.
