Tail amputation on bearded dragon

Bearded dragons are generally not aggressive by nature (which is why they make such good pets). They usually do not show signs of aggression towards people, but when they are babies they can bite each others tail or limbs causing severe wounds.

This little dragon with necrosis on the tail had to get an amputation of 1/3 of its tail due to severe wounds and the consequent necrosis of the tail.

Hooves 🐄🐂🐃🐐🐑🦌🦒🦙🐪

Ruminants hooves are keratin just like our fingernails. Trimming is the single most important task to help prevent lameness, soft hooves, smelly hooves, and hoof rot. Checking the animal’s feet regularly and frequently gives you the head start you need to care of a bad hoof before the condition spreads.

In this case, Luna’s hooves were way overdue, and they were impeding a proper movement of the legs.

We trimmed them! And, we gave her some needed love. She is back running around in the farm :)

Surgery on a Sugar Glider

This female sugar glider came to the hospital after her tail got entangled in some toys/ropes hanging in her cage.

The tail was fractured in several parts and the tissue was already necrotic (lack of blood perfusion causing ischemia of the tissue).

We rushed her into surgery to perform a tail amputation at the base of the tail, where the tissue was healthy.

She did great! She went home with pain meds and antibiotics.

Kinkajou 💙

Beautiful animals not such a great pet 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Because they are not tame, kinkajous do not make good pets, no matter how cute you might think they are! Kinkajous have a painful bite and can be destructive to a home in the middle of the night, when they are most active.

Cockatiels 🇦🇺

Cockatiels are far less demanding than the larger parrot species. In fact, they are relatively easy to take care of, and, if well socialized, make very loving and amusing pets.

They can live up to 20 years. 😊

Are you thinking about getting a parrot?

At EXOVET we encourage you to get a cockatiel instead of a larger bird like: macaws, amazons or cockatoos. They are beautiful ( but loud) birds, but also the most commonly unwanted after the owners realize the amount of work, time and space they need.

Great place, happy animals, hard work and extraordinary people making it possible. a pleasure working with you
you Gaia Animal Sanctuary

Recently we had the amazing privilege to have an avian vet house visit! EXOVET VETERINARY SERVICES] provided outstanding care for a group of gaia residents that desperately needed veterinarian care. It’s extremely challenging and stressful to take so many parrots to the vet one at a time. Dr. Torres was definitely heaven sent. We had been praying so much for this opportunity and it manifested for us. We’re so grateful for Dr. Torres for his wonderful expertise and genuine care for our birds. Everyone got checkups, nails and beaks trimmed, and even dietary recommendations! We couldn’t be happier with EXOVET VETERINARY SERVICES] visit to Gaia Animal Sanctuary! 💚💚💚💚🧡💛

Wet Tail in Hamsters

“Wet Tail”, named from the obvious sign of wetness around the rear end and tail of the hamster from diarrhea, comes from a bacterial infection that is generally brought on by stress. This stress could be from a change in environment such as bringing a new hamster home to a new habitat, too frequent handling, housing with another hamster, keeping in an unclean habitat or not providing a habitat where your hamster feels secure.
