Dr. Strat is available every other Friday for veterinary acupuncture and chiropractic work. Doctor Horton highly recommends her services.
We also recommend the Ness Wellness Center for exotic animal chiropractic care, acupuncture, and herbal medicine. We've worked with Dr. Ness for many years and our clients have wonderful things to say about him.
All consultations with in house specialty groups occur as a drop-off visit after one of the Chicago Exotics veterinarians has examined the animal and created a treatment plan with the client.
Ultrasound
Introducing a more complete diagnostic picture for avian and exotic animals available at Chicago Exotics Animal Hospital. We give you the opportunity to provide the best possible diagnostic picture for your clients, which will lead to the best possible plan of action for your patients. Chicago Exotics offer the avian and exotic consultation, handling, and ICU. Our trained veterinarians and referral specialists offer the diagnostic ultrasound procedures. Together we can help you create your therapeutic plan.
For cardiac work-ups, we work with Dr. Dana Buoscio, a board certified veterinary cardiologist, by appointment is available to examine your ferret, rabbit, or guinea pig and perform an echocardiogram. She travels to our hospital with her color flow Doppler ultrasound machine, the key to diagnosing and characterizing so many cardiac disorders. Complete cardiac diagnostics are available including ultrasound with colorflow doppler, Band M mode imaging, and ECG. Chicago Exotics provides all of the handling and management of these critters. This appointment is done by drop off and will require the entire day.
Ultrasound provides a less invasive alternative for abdominal disease evaluation. This means together we can thoroughly work up ferret, rabbit, and guinea pig heart disease. We can evaluate animals for neoplastic metastases to abdominal organs prior to surgery or observe renal disease associated with rabbit urinary tract disease. We also offer ultrasound guided biopsies.
We see hamsters and other small fuzzies, too. Reptiles can have their gonads, liver and kidney evaluated. For the avian patient, cardiac diagnostics are available. We can also help you evaluate the reproductive tract, look for tumors, and check out the liver. We are trying current techniques on fish and amphibians. Let us know if you're interested!
Dr. Horton, Dr. Moy and Dr. Valdes have years of valuable experience and knowledge in the veterinary care and husbandry of reptiles, birds, rabbits, ferrets, other small mammals and marsupials, as well as ostriches, emus, and fish. They taken many specialized courses in avian and exotic diagnostics, medicine, surgery, endoscopy, and ultrasound. Together they will help you get an accurate diagnoses and formulate an appropriate therapeutic plan.
