Dr. McLeod saw a very special patient; a Cuban land snail named Margo! Her shell has been getting more white recently, so she came to us for an exam and some X-rays. Shell whitening in snails can be a sign of calcium deficiency or an acidic environment, so Margo’s owner will make some changes to her husbandry. Margo was very cooperative for her exam and X-ray, and everyone was so excited to see this cute little mollusk!

Please help us welcome our new doctor!!

Dr. Kirstin McLeod was born in raised in Stamford, Connecticut. She obtained her bachelor’s of science at the University of Connecticut in Pathobiology and Veterinary Sciences in 2019. During this time, she worked in a state pathology lab where she assisted with testing and monitoring of avian influenza, rabies, and other zoonotic diseases. She also worked at a local exotic animal hospital as a veterinary assistant.

She then attended the University of Florida for veterinary school and graduated in 2023. During her time here she focused her studies on exotic animal and wildlife medicine with a special interest in avian medicine. She has a passion for surgery and anesthesia, and completed externships at local animal shelters to gain experience in a high volume surgical environment.

In her free time, Dr. McLeod is an avid hiker and artist. She loves spending time with her friends, family, and her two green check conures Obi and Pretzel.

Rats are amazing! ❤️🎧🎤🎵

Accurately moving to a musical beat was thought to be a skill innately unique to humans. However, new research now shows that rats also have this ability. The optimal tempo for nodding along was found to depend on the time constant in the brain (the speed at which our brains can respond to something...

Spring is a season of new beginnings, but buying bunnies for Easter shouldn't be one of them. Before you consider buying a bunny as a cute and cuddly addition to your household, please think twice. These adorable creatures require lifelong care and commitment.

Instead of buying a bunny outright, why not try fostering one first? This will give you a chance to see if a bunny is a good fit for you and your family, without making a long-term commitment. Plus, you'll be helping a bunny in need find a loving home!
