"Exotic" Exotics


"Exotic" exotics are termed as such here for lack of a better term.  There are a great number of captive bred or orphaned wild animals that end up being kept as pets.  Patients we have taken care of in this category include a great variety of non-human primates (monkeys, etc), large cats (lions and tigers), wildlife (racoons, possums, wolves, etc) and creatures like the mongoose, coatimundi, etc.  As a general rule, these wild animals, even if tamed, are not recommended as pets. (There are a great number of domesticated species that make great pets!)  Their habitat, social, nutritional, and legal requirements need to be well researched prior to acquiring these animals.  Never the less, when they need veterinary care, we have developed great reputation of providing excellent veterinary care to these animals in need.
