This post goes out to all of the amazing clients we have had the opportunity to work with over the past year. We’ve laughed with you, cried with you, and felt like welcomed family members in your home. I’ve said this before, and I will say it again: we really do have THE BEST clients. We are so thankful for you all, and it is an honor to be trusted with the care of your special, “exotic” pets. 🫶🏻

📢 Last call for any buns out there that still need their RHDV2 vaccine! Still a few spots open for our vaccine clinic at House Rabbit Network this Sunday Feb 25 💜🐰

We have a few spots open for Sunday’s vaccine clinic! Email [email protected] to claim a spot.

If this is your bunny’s first dose - they will need to come back on March 17th for a second initial dose to complete the series. We will update this post once all appointments have been claimed. Thank you for keeping your bunny safe and choosing HRN for your vaccinations!

No filter needed for Fred the Panther Chameleon 😎. Chameleons are some of the most challenging reptiles to keep in captivity due to their very specific needs, but luckily Fred’s owner is doing an awesome job 🙌🏻.

We’re proud to be partnering with House Rabbit Network to offer these lower cost vaccine clinics 💜🐰

Massachusetts has just authorized administration of the RHDV2 Vaccine to rabbits - and House Rabbit Network has you covered!

RHDV is fatal to bunnies and currently does not have a treatment. House rabbits are at risk as the virus is persistent and stays in the environment on a multitude of surfaces (including greens, shoes, hay, etc.) With confirmed cases of RHDV rapidly spreading through the states, using proper disinfectants/employing bio-secure routines AND vaccinating your rabbits is how to keep them safe.

The vaccine is safe and effective. In fact, Medgene reports that in a clinical study, 100% of the rabbits with the vaccine survived when introduced to the live virus strain of RHDV2. Rabbits as young as 7 weeks are able to be vaccinated as well as pregnant does. "The vaccine should be fully protective 14 days after the second vaccine booster, which would be 35 days after the first dose."

Over 100 Massachusetts rabbits vaccinated against Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease (RHDV2)!! This weekend we had an absolute blast teaming up with House Rabbit Network (HRN) to run a vaccine clinic and “bunny spa day” grooming at their shelter. HRN did an amazing job organizing this event, and we were blown away by the number of dedicated HRN volunteers that came out to help with the event. Protecting rabbits and offering owners a lower cost vaccine alternative…all while raising money for House Rabbit Network. A win for everyone 🐰🙌🏻

We get to do it all again in 3 weeks for the booster dose 🤪

We wanted to share this awesome example of a tortoise enclosure that one of our clients built! This bachelorette pad is home to Russian Tortoise “Me-Shell” (get it 😂). Things we love about this set up:

✅ Lots of room to roam and no glass walls

✅ A large basking area that includes multiple heat lights and a correct T5 UVB bulb (Arcadia 12% T5)

✅ A large soaking dish of water

✅ Lots of covered hides on the cool side

We realize not everyone has the room to do a set up like this in their home, but it’s a great example of a home made tortoise enclosure that works really well. Hats off to Me-Shell’s owner 🙌🏻🙌🏻💜🐢

Remember Petunia the grey tree frog? Back in October she underwent hind limb amputation after she sustained a bad fracture to her femur that couldn’t be repaired. She is currently overwintering inside and living her best little frog life, and her caretaker sent us this pic of her spreading the holiday cheer 💜🐸. Go Petunia!!

🐰🐰 Attention Rabbit Owners!🐰🐰

GREAT NEWS!! The state of Massachusetts has finally approved the vaccine for Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV2). RHDV2 is a deadly rabbit virus that has been slowly spreading across the U.S. since 2020. This virus can spread to domestic rabbits through urine/feces of infected wild rabbits. Indoor rabbits can be exposed if the virus is tracked inside the house via contaminated shoes/feet, or contaminated hay/veggies for example. There have been confirmed cases of RHDV2 in domestic rabbits in CT and NY.

We will be starting to book in-home vaccine appointments for rabbits in MA. If your rabbit has never received the RHDV2 vaccine before, 2 doses are initially required with the second dose administered 3 weeks after the first dose. Rabbits then receive one dose annually.

To be added to our contact list for in-home RHDV2 vaccination, please visit: https://exoticvetmobile.com/rabbit-vaccine/

*Approximate* In-Home Vaccine Appointment Costs:
(we will confirm the total cost with you prior to the appointment)

WITH FULL WELLNESS EXAM: $455 total
($275 for first visit, $180 booster visit. Includes mobile fees, exam, and vaccine costs)

WITHOUT FULL WELLNESS EXAM: $360 total
($180 first visit, $180 for booster visit. Includes mobile fees and vaccine cost)

🐰🐰 For multiple-rabbit households, each additional rabbit will get a half-price exam and vaccine!

💸 For a lower-cost alternative, we will also be offering vaccine clinics at specific locations in MA in the near future, so stay tuned!

Let's Protect Those Precious Buns! 💜

We love this Piggie Family Portrait of Mo (center- the matriarch piggie) Shirley, and Temple 😍. Thanks to our wonderful client Becca for sharing the cuteness!!

Loving this Halloween shoutout from .exoticzoo 😍. We have the best clients!!

As a mobile vet, we have designed our practice so that all of our diagnostics and treatments can be easily done inside your home. Here Dr. K is performing a bladder ultrasound on Felipe the guinea pig who was having some blood in his urine. We’re using a Butterfly portable ultrasound probe that connects to our iPhone - No big bulky equipment needed!

Patient of the Day: Petunia the Gray Tree Frog 🐸 We were contacted by a client who discovered this little friend on their back deck in distress with a badly fractured leg. They called every local wildlife rehabber in the area, but no one could take in such a tiny amphibian with a severe injury that would likely require intensive care. Luckily they found our number! Dr. Kneeland also works with New England Wildlife Center, so she was able to bring Petunia into the wildlife clinic. It was determined that amputation of the leg was Petunia’s best shot for survival, so Dr. K performed the surgery at NEWC. Petunia did great and has been recovering very well! Petunia will overwinter in captivity so they can heal and adjust to 3 legged life, and hopefully may be a candidate for release back into the wild in the spring 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Go Petunia!!

Patient of the day: “Beans” the Leopard Gecko!! Those eyes though 😍
Her owner gets an A+ for doing a ton of research on proper lighting, heating, and tank set up for geckos. Luckily Beans’ eyes are picture perfect, but eye issues are very common in leopard geckos and something we treat regularly. This happens when tank temps, humidity, or Vit A levels are a bit off. We realize there is so much conflicting info on the internet about reptile care, and we love helping our reptile owners with their habitats, heating and lighting to take away the guess work 💜🦎🐍🐢

No filter needed for this gal! Our recent guinea pig patient “Mo” is aging gracefully at 7 years old thanks to excellent care from her mom 💜

Did you see it 👀 Our vet Dr. Kneeland was recently featured on the Channel 5 WCVB series “Chronicle.” The story was about “A day in the life of an Odd Pet Vet.” did a great job with this segment! Link below.

Patients of the Day!! These two fashionistas are bearded dragons Lucy and Ruby. They had a check up today and a f***l parasite screen and deworming treatment to keep them feeling 💯. Their owner .exoticzoo does an amazing job with her reptiles’ husbandry, so they deserve a shout out 🙌🏻

Too good not to share!! Guinea pig mom Becca created this masterpiece complete with a guinea pig on roller skates (because we are mobile) and we love it!! Thanks Becca 🥰🐹

When you’re a 200lb house pig with a sore leg, getting into a car to go to the vet’s office is easier said than done 😥. We were happy to go see “Chris P” the pig last night and examine him from the comfort of his couch. A little rest and some pain medication will hopefully have Chris P feeling better soon 💜🐷

We spotted this sign at one of our client's backyard chicken coops - too funny not to share!

We see a lot of backyard chickens for a variety of ailments including skin issues, lead testing and lead poisoning treatment, respiratory issues, bumble foot, injuries, cloacal prolapse, and the list goes on. It's also a good idea to schedule a wellness visit to make sure your flock is healthy and happy. We'll see them in your garage, backyard, basement, house, and even in the coop (if it's big enough!).

We offer flock pricing options or we could come see just one of your chickens. Learn more on our website - link in bio.

Thanks for the shoutout Vetster! 💜🦎. Helping owners figure out the best lights, heat, and habitat set up for their reptiles is something we are so passionate about. As an exotics vet I’m always trying to put myself out of business by keeping reptiles healthy at home!

Sebastian aka Mr. Bun feeling very pleased that the vet came to HIM today and he didn’t even need to leave his comfy living room! Great job today Mr. Bun… 7 years old and still looking great! 💜🐰

Meet Ralph the Rat! Ralph is a bit of a timid guy who was recently adopted and doesn’t love being handled just yet. Ralph started showing signs of an inner ear infection and his mom knew he needed to be seen by a vet right away, but her regular vet was all booked up and she really didn’t want to stress little Ralph by bringing him to the ER clinic (and waiting there for several hours!). That’s where we come in 🦸‍♀️ We came to Ralph’s house, conducted a quick low-stress exam to confirm the problem, gave him some antibiotics and pain meds, and right back into his cage he went! He’ll be feeling much better soon 💜🐀
