Dr Jonathon Howard - Small Animal, Bird and Exotics Veterinarian

Dr Jonathon Howard - Small Animal, Bird and Exotics Veterinarian I am a small animal, bird and exotics veterinarian. I am no longer working in clinic. I am a small animal, bird, exotic mammal and reptile vet.

I am experienced in all aspects of medicine and surgery of your pet including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, lizards, snakes, frogs and even fish! I have also had extensive experience in treating large animals such as cattle, pigs, sheep, goats and alpacas. I created this page to share my passion for animals and the beautiful patients I treat on a daily basis. I will continue to post interesting cases on here in the future.

Bit of a teaser for my upcoming talk on sea snake rehabilitation at The Yaboumba World Congress on Wildlife.

The need for companionship isn’t limited to just humans. Even the most unusual of wildlife patients need friends.

“This photo always makes me smile. Dr Howard and myself discovered that sick and injured Yellow Bellied Sea Snakes heal faster and recover when they co habit together. They adore companionship, followed each other, lay together and swam in sync together.

Before discovering this, many showed signs of a depressed state with head hanging, slow movement and a reluctance to eat. But when together they thrived ❤️

I loved watching them when they transitioned to the large pre release tanks and they would glide side by side together, and playfully weave under and around bubbles and currents before resting on a dock and laying next to each other, sometimes putting their heads together or entwining their tails.

So beautiful to watch!”

Thank you for sharing such a lovely story and for all you do for wildlife, Nic Martini from the New South Wales Wildlife Council

Today is the inaugural International Chameleon Day!
There are 228 species of chameleon! This guy is the Jackson’s chameleon (Trioceros jacksonii xantholophus) found on at the foothills of Mt Kenya.
Chameleons are a very cool unique group of lizards! 😎

The young red eyed tree frog (Ranoidea chloris) with a red eye🐸👁
Probably my smallest patient ever weighing in at less than 1 gram!
This little guy had a corneal ulcer and hyphema (blood in the front chamber of the eye).
We treated with eye ointment (he was the size of the ointment tube lid! You can see a dab of ointment on his ulcer in the last pic 😁) and some antibiotics injections (yes we had to dilute the antibiotics down to give home the correct dose 😅)
