Exotic Vet Care SOUTH CAROLINA’S
EXOTIC PET SPECIALISTS
Providing All the Care Your Pet Will Ever Need

Exotic Vet Care is South Carolina’s premier avian and exotic specialty practice. Dr. Biascoechea and Dr. Duvall are board-certified avian specialists, Dr. Munyon who did a small animal and an exotic animal internship and Dr. Rainwater treat all types of birds, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians and fish. We also accept referral cases from veterinarians throughout the state and surrounding areas

. Hours of Operation:
Mon-Thur 8am - 7pm, Fri 8am-6pm, and Saturday 8am-2pm. Regular wellness exams are vital to monitor and maintain your pet's health. We recommend a postpurchase consultation as soon as possible after bringing a new pet into the home so that we can ensure that you are providing your new family member with the proper diet, care, and habitat. Often, owners wait until there is a visible issue of concern before bringing their pet for a checkup. Avian and exotic pets are innately skilled at hiding any signs of illness or weakness until they have depleted their bodies' resources and are gravely ill. Regular wellness exams allow us to note any change in weight, behavior or condition and to correct problems before they become life-threatening. Regular bloodwork, radiographs and other diagnostics allow us to monitor the internal organs to ensure that they are functioning properly and to detect illness well before external symptoms manifest. In addition to annual and 6-month physical exams, we offer behavioral consultation for pets that are having issues such as screaming, biting, or aggressive, defensive or antisocial behaviors. We offer prepurchase consultations to ensure that you are selecting the right kind of pet for you, your family, and your situation.

Santa's sleigh (aka the UPS truck) dropped off a bounty of toys today, and we have a fantastic variety to please beaks of all sizes! So many, in fact, that we had to bring out a basket for the overflow. Every toy in the basket is $8 or under! We also have timothy chew toys and hides for our furry companions, so pop in and grab a gift for your favorite feathered or furry friend.

🤔 This little parakeet's family thought he was a boy… he seemed to be acting off recently and spending more time in his log.

🎀 Turns out, it’s a girl! She had laid 4 eggs and was nesting. Recently, they changed her diet. So after 6 years of no eggs, we suspect this may have activated her hormonal behavior/egg laying.

🥚Knowledge is power. We recommend any new pet - especially an exotic species you aren’t as familiar with - to be seen for an initial wellness exam to cover topics such as these. But gosh this did make for an adorable photo-op.

The resilience of animals. 🤍 This sweet 40 year old cockatoo presented for urgent assessment of a beak injury from another cockatoo. Upon arrival, he was quite stressed, mildly bleeding, but alert and responsive. Not to mention so friendly to everyone he met 🥺

Included is a photo of the beak injury before arrival - covered up some due to the graphic nature. Small pieces of bone and keratin can be seen. We admitted him to the hospital to administer fluids, pain relief, and antibiotics. His injury was monitored and cleaned. He was tube fed for a few days, but was able to start eating on his own a little bit later!

He will be on the meds for a bit while we allow the beak to heal. In about a month, we will see him back to evaluate if an acrylic patch or prosthetic might work for him. So proud of this guy.

Fish goes to the vet because he ate a rock!!! 🐠🪨

Fish was anesthetized for this procedure for his comfort and safety. He did well and is recovering at home. Hopefully no more rocks in the future.

🐍 Case Study: Inclusion Body Disease (IBD)

Inclusion Body Disease is a transmissive and progressive disease that affects captive boas and pythons. It is suspected to originate with a virus. No treatment is available, so unfortunately, this disease is fatal.

Pictured above - both red and white blood cells develop these inclusions that we suspect impair their function. The infection causes disease to all parts of the body, likely due to immunosuppression, since without functional cells, the body cannot function properly.

This particular owner has a collection of snakes, and had already attempted multiple rounds of treatment. We did make the decision to proceed with end of life care, in the best interest of the animal and the other snakes in their care. ❤️‍🩹

This 36 year old amazon parrot presented for assessment of nasal swelling. He has been dealing with this for years but recently this has gotten significantly worse. Upon examination, it was clear this area is infected and needed to be drained and flushed. We sedated the patient so this was not painful for him and started him on an antibiotic. We also took a sample of the abscess so we may determine what exactly it is made of so we can make sure to treat it properly! #foryoupage #fypage #foryou #amazon #bird #birds #parrot #parrots #pet #petparrot #parrotsoftiktok #cutepet #vet #vetmed #veterinary #vettech #wildlife #exoticpets #exoticpetsoftiktok
