I am very grateful for the excellent care my parrot received at this exotic veterinary clinic. From the moment we arrived, the staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The veterinarian was highly knowledgeable about birds and handled my parrot with great care and patience. They took the time to explain everything clearly and provided helpful advice on my parrot's health and ongoing care. It was reassuring to see how experienced they were with exotic pets, and I felt confident that my parrot was receiving the best possible treatment. The only problem is that they don't operates 24 hours a day, it would be much better if they were open 24 hours.

I had an excellent experience bringing my parrot to this exotic veterinary clinic. The veterinarian was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring towards my bird. They took the time to thoroughly examine my parrot, explain the condition clearly, and answer all my questions patiently. What impressed me most was how comfortable and calm they made my parrot feel throughout the visit. The staff were friendly, attentive, and clearly experienced in handling exotic pets. The clinic was also clean, well-organized, and welcoming. The only problem is that they don't operates 24 hours a day, it would be much better if they were open 24 hours.

Had a great experience at Exocare Veterinary Medical Centre. The staff and veterinarians are very friendly, helpful, and genuinely care about the animals. Service was fast and efficient, and the consultation fees and treatments were reasonably priced. What impressed me the most was their excellent after-service support. They were responsive to follow-up questions and provided clear guidance on post-treatment care. The doctors are highly professional, especially when it comes to avian medicine. It's not easy to find a vet with strong knowledge and experience in bird healthcare, so it's reassuring to know my birds are in good hands. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality veterinary care for exotic pets and birds!

It once was, but treatment has changed significantly in recent years. Talk to our specialists about current options for your cat.

Yes, if they’ve had any contact with an infected cat, even briefly. Testing is the only way to know for sure.

Often through a routine auscultation or echocardiography, since symptoms may not appear until it’s advanced. Early detection is why regular screening matters.

It can be – cats are known for masking illness, so a change in behaviour is worth having checked. Book a consultation so we can assess what’s going on.

FIP, FIV/FeLV, and feline HCM are conditions we watch for closely, since cats often show few early signs. Book a consultation if you have any concerns about your cat’s health.

MMVD (mitral valve disease) is common, especially in small breeds, and is manageable with the right monitoring. Our cardiology team can assess your dog’s heart health.

It’s transmitted by mosquitoes and much easier to prevent than to treat once established. Ask us about an appropriate prevention plan for your dog.

Vaccination greatly reduces the risk, but young or under-vaccinated dogs remain vulnerable. Keep vaccinations up to date and consult us if you have concerns.

Cherry eye is a prolapsed tear gland, visible as a red lump in the eye corner, and it usually needs surgical correction. Our team can advise on the right approach for your dog.

Bad breath, loose teeth, or drooling can point to periodontal disease. Regular dental checks catch it earlier – book a consultation if you notice any of these signs.

Reduced appetite, fewer or no faecal pellets, and a hunched posture are common early signs. These warrant same-day veterinary attention.

Proper diet and minimising stress both play a role – ask us for guidance specific to your rabbit’s age and lifestyle.

Yes, as prey animals they’re especially good at masking symptoms until a problem is advanced. Regular check-ups help catch issues early.

If they’ve stopped eating or producing faecal pellets, that’s same-day, not wait-and-see. Call us straight away.

GI stasis is when a rabbit’s digestive system slows or stops, and it can become life-threatening within hours. If you suspect it, contact us immediately.

Early cases can improve significantly with correction; advanced cases are managed rather than fully reversed. We’ll be honest with you about your pet’s case after a proper assessment.

Enormously – temperature, humidity, and UVB setup are behind many of the conditions we see. If in doubt about your setup, book a husbandry review consultation.

Metabolic bone disease is usually linked to inadequate UVB lighting or calcium deficiency in the diet. Correct husbandry is the most important preventive measure.

Retained shed or skin that won’t come off cleanly are the main signs to watch for. Dysecdysis often points to an underlying husbandry or health issue.

Reptile physiology and disease presentation are very different from cats and dogs, and need specific training to assess properly. Our team is experienced in exotic and reptile medicine.
