We offer the following appointments:
 | Health Exam or Recheck Exam -- This 30 to
60 minute appointment is available for avian and exotic pets
that are ill (or have a new problem), for wellness exams, or
to monitor progress on an existing problem. Dr. Horton,
Dr. Grabowski, Dr. Parr or Dr. Strat will talk to you as she
examines your pet and comes up with a plan to diagnose
and treat any problems. This is also the time to discuss
any husbandry questions, nutritional or behavioral concerns,
or just ask general questions about your exotic pet.
 | Rabbits, Ferrets, other small mammals, marsupials, and
Guinea Pigs: A fresh fecal sample should be
brought along so we may screen for certain illnesses. |
 | Birds: Please remember to bring a few hours worth
of fresh droppings along with your bird as these
provide vital clues to your bird's health. |
 | Reptiles and Amphibians: Please remember to bring in a
fresh fecal sample with your reptile or amphibian so we
may screen for parasites. |
 | Fish: A fresh, separate from the fish water sample
should be brought along. Please also bring an air pump
and air stone with to keep you fish well
oxygenated. |
|
 | Drop-off Exam -- If you're on the go but
have a pet that needs care, you may arrange to leave your pet
with us. Drop-off appointments allow you to get
your pet to the hospital before our normal appointment hours or
allow you to drop off a pet sometime during the morning
without waiting around for the examination. The
doctors will examine your pet and call you back with
recommendations about its care. You may pick your pet up
at your convenience later that day or, if needed, have your
pet spend the night with us and pick up the following
day. There is an additional charge for this kind of
appointment. |
 | Emergency Exam -- If you have an exotic pet
that needs urgent care during our office hours, we'll strive
to see you right away. Call first to check our
availability. If we can't help you, we'll direct you to
another veterinarian who can. There is an additional
charge for this kind of appointment. |
 | Technician Services -- Our technicians are
able to provide many services such as nail trims, grooming of wings
and nails, administering medications, Lupron injections,
and various other minor procedures that are needed for
your pet's good health and appearance. |
 | Dental Exam -- These are scheduled
every 30 minutes and are for the rabbits that have been
diagnosed with dental disease. The doctor performs the
procedure as previously prescribed at the last health exam. |
