Housing and nutrition are the two biggest concerns with pet iguanas. The most common disease problem of captive iguanas results from gross malnutrition and is a widespread problem. Most new iguana owners are not given proper dietary information at the time of acquisition, and some are, in fact, given wrong information. Contact our office for a handout or with any questions concerning your iguana. As with the other exotic animals, they require special diet and housing needs.
Zoo animals are welcome, as well.
Our answering service will promptly page your call through to the doctor on call. An injured pet may not realize you are trying to help it and may bite or scratch from fear or pain. If the animal is bleeding, wrap a towel or apply pressure over the area. For poisonings, call us immediately for instructions, and bring the container of poison to the clinic. For all emergencies, please call us for instructions and information.
