Exotics Advice
Regrettably, even with the owner's best intentions, our experience indicates that up to 95% of diseases in exotic pets result from improper husbandry.
To address this concern, Leadon Vale Veterinary Centre is delighted to provide complimentary post-consultation appointments with our exotic's nurse. Whether you seek guidance on the proper diet for your cherished macaw, ways to enrich the environment for your red-eared terrapin, or ensure suitable housing for your chameleon, we are here to assist you.
Exotic Pets commonly include:
- Fish
