Meet Dragon 🦎💙 Dragon is a leopard gecko who came to us with a body wall tear and a herniation of his liver through the opening. Dr. Klein and our team performed surgery to repair the injury and he made a full recovery!

His incision has healed, his stitches are out, and he’s back to living his best gecko life! 🙌

Meet Turtellini! 🐢💙 She was found near a dumpster with injuries to her shell and front leg. X-rays revealed two fish hooks inside her. Using endoscopy and surgery, our team safely removed the hooks, treated a constriction injury on her leg caused by fishing line, and stabilized her shell fracture. During her recheck, she looked great and was eating well! 🙌

⚠️ Let Turtellini’s story be a reminder: Please dispose of fishing gear properly!

We always encourage our exotic pet parents to bring a favorite toy or cozy item from home when their pet visits us. 💙 Familiar scents can help bring comfort and calm during their hospital stay, especially while they’re recovering. Just like Alice, who had her teddy bear and blanket by her side after her procedure. 🧸 A little piece of home can make a big difference! 🙌

Meet Bernie! 🐢💙 This brave desert tortoise came to us for an emergency after being run over by a car. Dr. Willig and our team performed a shell repair, and Bernie did amazing during surgery! He’s now doing great - his fracture is healing nicely, his appetite is back to normal, and he’s even gained weight. We’re so proud of Bernie!

Meet McNuggets, a 5-year-old chicken! 🐔 She came to our hospital for surgery after breaking her leg. The injury made it impossible for her to get around, and without treatment, she wouldn’t have been able to walk properly.

Our amazing avian specialist, Dr. Lamb, placed pins in her bone to realign and set her leg. McNuggets did incredible during surgery, and just 14 days later she’s looking great and well on her way to a full recovery. 🙌

Thanks for coming in, McNuggets! 💙

Meet Shelby! 💙🐢 Our team recently treated a Chinese box turtle named Shelby, who had been referred to us after swallowing a button battery.

Dr. Rose performed an endoscopy and after about an hour and a half, she and our amazing team of veterinary assistants were able to flush the battery out using a large quantity of saline. Shelby recovered well from the procedure and was able to go home later that same day! 💙

Our doctors are so good, exotic animals can’t stay away! A few foxes stopped by Dr. Ruoff’s house early in the morning. 🦊 Encounters like this are a great reminder that we share our neighborhoods with wildlife, and it’s important to be good neighbors by:

- Not leaving human or pet food / garbage in areas where they will become habituated to humans or being fed
- Keeping your pets safe from wildlife interactions (i.e. keep pets indoors unless they are supervised or protected)
- Protecting your pets from diseases through vaccinations and parasite preventative medications
- Not touching the wildlife! We can tell you from experience that although they are adorable, round, and fluffy --raccoon bites HURT. If you need help with a wild animal, call a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for assistance or resources.
- Planting native vegetation in your yard for natural food sources, and leaving some of your landscaping up to nature (such as leaving the leaves in the fall). You can find more ideas and even get your yard certified as wildlife habitat here: https://certifiedwildlifehabitat.nwf.org/
- Providing a safe water source if you are able (must be running and filtered to prevent mosquitoes and disease spread)
