Welcome to Chicago Exotics Animal Hospital
We provide veterinary care for avian and exotic
animals.
See Contact for our
hours. New hours start January 25, 2010!!
Exotic pets like rabbits, ferrets, reptiles, birds,
fish, hedgehogs, and guinea pigs have special care needs and
Chicago Exotics specializes in meeting those needs. We operate a
full service avian and exotic animal hospital featuring Dr. Susan
Horton, Dr. Mary Grabowski, Dr. Katy Parr and Dr. Deanne Strat. Their extensive knowledge and expertise with exotic species
combines the best of personal and clinical experience. Our
location is in Skokie, Illinois. We provide service for the
entire Chicago area as well as Southern Wisconsin and Western
Indiana.
Our hospital has the capability of serving all
sorts of animals from the smallest fish to the largest
reptiles. Our warm exotic ICU features avian incubators,
reptilian incubators (aquatic and not), fish and amphibian ICU
tanks, avian nebulizer unit, and inline oxygen for all
cages. Outside the warm room, we have comfortable cages for
all the soft fuzzy and not so fuzzy mammals and marsupials.
We are especially bird friendly! Our in house diagnostic capability includes full blood and
chemistry work, cytology, radiology, endoscopy, ultrasound,
and surgery. We offer the opportunity for
unique species to receive competent and compassionate veterinary
care. Cases are seen by appointment, but emergency patients
are gladly accepted as the need arises.
Our Care sheets section contains valuable information on caring for your
pet. If one of the doctors sent you to this website for a handout,
this is where you want to go.

bring them with. All other history forms will eventually be
included here, but for now you will have to fill them out at the
clinic. Please arrive 15 minutes early for your first

computer.

Flu
Avian
Flu has not come to the US yet, but we continue to receive
questions about it daily. I think the best way to protect
your birds is to practice clean husbandry and provide a healthy
living environment. As we find reliable information, it will be
posted here.
