Wow, what a day of exotics. Not that it was not fun, but there were some challenging cases. The day started with a pac man frog that came to visit us due to a potential injury to his eye. He was quite the character. He was constantly hopping around on the table while I was trying to examine him. (for those of you who know pacman frogs, you know they are not the most active creatures:)) We then moved onto the birds that came in today, took care of the hospitalized ferret and managed to squeeze in a rabbit with an infection in his eyes and ears. And of course we saw our regular dog and cat patients as well. Did I mention there is a goat neuter scheduled for Monday:)
It can be quite interesting when we get exotics in the clininc and they definitely make for challenging cases. We get all varieties from our favorite pig patients to the bird who screams help me every time we try to trim its nails…I am going to have to say I think my staff has gotten pretty good and learning how to handle each of the exotics, even the serval cats that come in on occasion.
A yellow rock with eyes!! Very cool!
