About CARE
CARE provides species-specific consultation, diagnostics, treatment planning and hospital support for patients whose needs are often subtle, complex and different from those of dogs and cats.
About CARE
Patients
CARE works with birds, reptiles, rabbits, rodents and other exotic companion animals. Each patient is assessed according to their species, behaviour, diet, housing, history and clinical signs.
01
Birds often hide illness until changes become more serious. Appetite, droppings, posture, breathing, feather condition, weight and behaviour can all provide important clinical clues.
02
Reptile care depends strongly on husbandry. Temperature, humidity, lighting, diet, enclosure setup and seasonal changes can all influence health and treatment planning.
03
Small mammals can change quickly when something is wrong. Appetite, faecal output, dental health, movement, posture and behaviour are all important parts of assessment.
04
Some patients do not fit neatly into standard categories. Their care still begins with careful history, appropriate handling, species-specific context and practical clinical planning.

CARE provides veterinary care for avian, reptile and exotic patients, from first assessment and diagnostics to treatment planning, surgery, hospital care and follow-up guidance.
