It means that we are staffed 24 hours every day of the year. It means that should your pet become ill or injured at two in the morning, he or she will receive the same care as at two in the afternoon. It means that our veterinarians, nurses, technicians, and staff will help your pet when he or she needs it most. You may think that The Animal Medical Center is a hospital just for dogs and cats. You'll be surprised to learn that we have a fully operational exotic pet and avian clinic.
Unusual pets require special care to maintain their health in a domestic setting.
The avian and exotic pet service is staffed by veterinary specialists who are trained to diagnose and treat birds, reptiles, small mammals such as rabbits and ferrets, and small rodents such as hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs. The ward for these pets was carefully designed and equipped for the housing and treatment of birds and reptiles. Heat, humidity, and oxygen are regulated to assure favorable conditions. Small mammals and rodents are kept in a separate ward. So if your iguana is ill, don't panic.
