Does My Companion Need an Exotic Pet Exam?

Just like dogs and cats, exotic pets benefit from regular veterinary checkups. That’s why our exotic pet care practice recommends annual wellness exams for most exotic species. It’s important to note that certain pets may need more frequent visits based on their age, environment, or health history. You can rest assured that our knowledgeable veterinarian and his team will break down the benefits of our services and customize them to your pet’s unique needs.

Some of the benefits of routine wellness exams for exotic pets include:
  • Catching early signs of illnesses

  • Addressing nutrition or habitat concerns

  • Ensuring proper growth, behavior, and enrichment

  • Providing peace of mind for pet owners

  • Avoiding unnecessary pain or discomfort for your pet

  • Nose-to-tail physical exam

Signs of Illness in Exotic Pets

Exotic pets are masters at hiding illnesses. As prey species, they often mask symptoms until a condition becomes advanced. That’s why it’s important to know what to look for and act quickly if something seems off. Our Beaumont exotic pet vet is here to help you understand some of the signs of illness so that you know when to bring your pet in for an exam.

We recommend that you contact us if you notice any of the following:

  • Increased or decreased appetite or thirst

  • Fur, skin, or scale changes (e.g., not shedding, lumps or bumps, irritation, lack of grooming)

  • Abnormal stool or urine

  • Eye or nasal discharge

  • Reduced activity (e.g., climbing, digging, playing, or socializing)

  • A calm, compassionate experience

Illness in exotic pets can be life-threatening. Ensure your one-of-a-kind friend stays in exceptional health with the expert exotic pet care at our practice.

Exotic Pet Exams FAQs

If you have any questions about our exotic pet exam services, our team is here for you. We’ll give you all the information you need to make confident health decisions for your pet. Some of the most frequently asked questions about our Beaumont exotic pet vet exams include:

Do exotic pets really need yearly checkups?

Yes! Annual wellness exams are just as important for exotic pets as they are for cats and dogs. Many health issues in exotic pets go unnoticed until they’re advanced, so regular checkups are key to catching problems early and keeping your pet healthy and comfortable.

Can you help with diet and habitat questions?

Absolutely. Nutrition and the environment are two of the biggest factors in exotic pets’ health. We’ll guide you on proper diet, lighting, temperature, humidity, and enrichment to support your pet’s long-term well-being.

What are emergency signs in exotic pets?

Any sudden changes in appetite, behavior, breathing, droppings, or movement should be taken seriously. Exotic pets can decline quickly, so don’t wait – call us if you notice something unusual.
