Yes, we do provide parasite prevention and vaccinations for exotic pets. We are also one of the few clinics that carry the specific vaccine ferrets need. Because vaccination and parasite prevention needs vary widely by species, we tailor recommendations to each patient. Our team will help create a plan that best protects your exotic pet’s health.

To help reduce stress during your pet’s vet visit, we recommend bringing them in a secure, safe carrier appropriate for their species. It’s also important to consider your pet’s individual needs and what helps them feel most comfortable. For birds, covering the cage can be very helpful, as wind and visual stimulation can be stressful during transport. Taking these simple steps can make the visit smoother and less stressful for both you and your pet.

Signs that your reptile may be stressed or ill can include changes in behavior, appetite, or coloration, as well as weight loss. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s best to have your pet evaluated so we can identify any underlying issues early and provide appropriate care.

Signs that your bird may be stressed or not feeling quite like themselves can include feather plucking, changes in vocalization, or shifts in normal behavior. These changes can sometimes be mild, but it’s a good idea to keep an eye on them and reach out if you have concerns so we can help make sure your bird stays healthy and comfortable.
