Exotics Consults
We believe that Health check/First exotic pet consults are the most important in making sure your exotic pet lives a long healthy and comfortable life.
Initial Health Check: Thorough physical examination and recommendations to help you meet ideal medical, husbandry and nutrition for your exotic pet.
Behavioral consults: As part of most health checks we’ll also discuss behavioural changes or provide you with some enrichment and/or medical options.
DNA Sexing: We can perform Avian DNA sexing with just a simple drop of blood or feather. We can also use specialized probes along with imaging to sex reptiles as well.
Diagnostics: We offer a range of disease screening options for all exotics which include both bloods and imaging.
Vaccination: Routine rabbit and ferret vaccination
Microchipping: All exotic pets can be microchipped, with rabbits, ferrets, and lizards as the most common. As part of the microchipping procedure anaesthesia is included and we register the unique code with a national registry to increase the chance of your pet coming back home to you.
