New Pet Exam

We welcome animals of all shapes and sizes to our clinic. We recommend scheduling a post-adoption or post-purchase examination as soon as possible to establish a health baseline for your new pet. Early detection of any potential diseases is crucial, as it can help prevent the spread of illness to other pets and protect your own health. This initial exam includes a thorough physical examination, as well as consultations on husbandry and nutrition. We also offer disease screening and laboratory testing as needed.

Annual Exams

Exotic animals often mask signs of illness more effectively than other pets, making annual exams highly recommended. These exams help us ensure your pet is thriving and provide valuable insights into their overall health. They include assessments for health conditions, abnormalities, nutritional needs, and weight changes. By the time visible physical changes occur, the health issue may already be advanced. Herbivores, such as rabbits and guinea pigs, need particular attention to their dental and oral health. Additionally, aviary pets, with their high metabolic rates, can lose weight rapidly, making early detection crucial. Regular examinations help us identify and address problems before they become severe. Lastly, as pets age, their needs evolve. Annual exams offer an opportunity to discuss and adapt to these changing needs.

Avian Blood Sexing

In many cases, it’s impossible to visually determine a bird's gender, except in certain sexually dimorphic species. We offer advanced DNA sexing to accurately identify a bird's gender using just a single drop of blood. This sample is safely and easily collected from a vein with minimal stress to the bird. The genetic analysis provides a highly accurate determination of the bird's sex, with results available in 3-4 days.
