Exotic Animals

Reptiles, Exotics, Rabbits, Small Mammals, Avian & Amphibians

For more than 70 years, our veterinary clinic has provided compassionate care for all types of pets — not just dogs and cats. From feathers to scales to fur, our experienced veterinarians have cared for a wide range of unique companions.

Below are just a few examples of the patients we regularly see. If your pet isn’t listed, there’s a good chance we’ve cared for one before!

In addition to its well known effects acute and chronic pain, acupuncture can help to address a wide range of medical issues, including:
• Musculoskeletal complaints, including knee pain and hip pain, osteoarthritis, tendinitis, back and neck pain and much more.
• Neurologic problems such as spinal cord injuries, disk disease, peripheral nerve diseases, and other nerve based problems.
• Digestive ailments, including inflammatory and motility problems
• Respiratory issues, such as sinusitis and recurrent infections.

Common exotic and specialty pets we see include:

Ducks and chickens
Tortoises and turtles
Snakes
Parrots and cockatoos
Rabbits
Tegus
Chameleons
Geckos
Bearded dragons
Amphibians
And many more

The number of treatments needed differ from patient to patient. For difficult or long-standing conditions, the pet may need one or two treatments weekly for several weeks. Usually, however, one sees a change in the patient within the first few treatments if acupuncture is going to make a meaningful difference.
