Dietary and husbandry advice
Unfortunately, despite the owner's best intentions, in our experience, as many as 95% of cases of disease in exotic pets are caused by incorrect husbandry.
That is why we are pleased to offer complimentary post-consultation appointments with our exotic's nurse. Whether your question is about providing the correct diet for your beloved macaw, creating environmental enrichment for your red-eared terrapin, or housing your chameleon correctly, we will be happy to help.
please call one of our surgeries in to book your pet an appointment with an exotic vet in Solihull.
