🐍✨ Happy Reptile Awareness Day! 🦎🌿

Today, we honor our incredible reptilian patients and their vital role in biodiversity. From the delicate care of a chameleon’s metabolic needs to the complex management of a python’s respiratory health, reptiles require specialized knowledge and expertise in veterinary medicine.

Let’s also raise awareness on responsible reptile care, habitat conservation, and the critical role veterinarians play in ensuring their well-being. Together, we can continue advancing reptile medicine and protecting their ecosystems.

What’s your most memorable reptile case? Share with us below! 👇💚

Thank you Golden State Ballet and congratulations to our girl! Victoria was 3 years old when my husband and I took her to see her first ballet, "The Nutcracker" at the San Diego Civic Center. When the ballet ended, Victoria began to cry. I thought it was because the toole in her dress was hurting her. When I asked her why she was crying she said, "Is it over?!" She was sad that it had ended. After she settled , Victoria said, "Mommy, I want to be a real ballerina!" So it seems that at the age of 3, our precious child knew what she wanted to do with her life. We enrolled her in ballet classes at a sign up sheet in the theater lobby that evening to begin classes with The California Ballet School. Throughout many obstacles, sacrifices and challenges, she persevered. Victoria
stayed the course to fulfill her dream if being a "Real Ballerina." Our daughter is indeed a beautiful and talented dancer but I believe her biggest gifts to this world are her open heart, her kindness, her forgiving nature, her hilarious personality and the never-ending love and support she gives to those in her life. I am beyond grateful to have her in mine. She'll always be my hero. I'm so very proud of you. ❤️

Avian influenza is not to be taken lightly. Protect your birds (pet birds and poultry) from exposure to wild birds, especially water fowl. Have sick birds seen by your veterinarian and have birds that die unexpectedly necropsied.

If you are thinking about buying or adopting a bunny for Easter, please take some time to make certain you are ready to make an 8-10 year commitment to a new pet. Please don't make a impulsive purchase or adoption. Rabbits are wonderful companions, but require daily feeding and care, spaying neutering, and vaccines. They need companionship from their owners and often do best with another rabbit. We'd be happy to consult with owners new rabbit owners and or refer new owners to rabbit rescue.

The Avian & Exotic Animal Hospital is a primary care and referral veterinary practice limited to: Bi
