✅ Pro-Active Diagnostics
This facility is known for not just treating symptoms, but using bloodwork and imaging to find the root cause in exotic species.
✅ Exotic-Only Recovery
Reduced stress environments where sensitive animals like rabbits or birds aren't housed next to barking dogs.

- 2. "What is your protocol for anesthesia in small exotic mammals?"
