Exotics
At this practice we specialise in exotic pets and treat a wide variety of patients with fur, feather, scales and even prickles! Our daily case loads includes parrots, guinea pigs, lizards, snakes, chinchillas, degus to hedgehogs and pot bellied pigs.

Plato the tortoise with a feeding tube. She only weighed 38g!
Lindsey giving Honey the rabbit a preanaesthetic check
Joey, the budgie with severe 'scaly beak'.
This is caused by a burrowing mite and weekly treatment for 2-3 weeks is needed to treat it. As it is also highly contagious we also advise treating all budgies in the same cage.

Rats make great pets as they are very intelligent and friendly and form a great bond with their owners.
Some of our patients are smaller than a cotton bud!
