Have you ever wondered why your Tree Frog’s legs are turning red? This is something exotic pet owners sometimes notice and wonder about. Red legs can be caused by tiny broken capillaries and are often linked to a condition known as Red Leg Disease. 🐸

Because this can be a sign of illness, it’s important to have a frog examined by an exotic veterinarian as soon as possible. Early care helps us catch problems before they become serious, and gives your pet the best chance at staying healthy and happy. 🏥🩺

If you ever see changes in your pet’s appearance or behavior, don’t wait schedule an exam with your vet. Call us at (480)696-7744 to schedule your pets next exam. 📞

This little bunny came in for a visit today, and it reminded us how important it is to give our rabbits the extra support they need as they grow and age. Just like people, rabbits can get a little stiff in their joints. 🐰

One of our favorite go-tos? Oxbow Natural Science Joint Support Treats. They’re made with Timothy hay, glucosamine, and turmeric - and the best part is, bunnies actually love them! 🌿

If your rabbit could use a little boost for their joints, these treats are an easy way to add some extra care into their daily routine. 💚

Keeping your bunny healthy is more than just love and good care at home, it also means regular veterinary checkups! Rabbits should have bi-annual wellness exams to help catch any health issues early and ensure they’re thriving. At their visit, we’ll check their teeth, diet, weight, and overall health. 🐰

It’s also important to protect your rabbit from Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease (RHDV2), a serious and often fatal virus spreading in the US. We recommend that all rabbits receive the RHD vaccine to stay safe. 🐾

We recently has a caiman lizard visit our hospital for an exam! Native to the Amazon Basin in South America, these semi-aquatic reptiles are excellent swimmers and spend much of their time near rivers and streams. 🦎

Known for their powerful jaws, caiman lizards specialize in eating snails and crustaceans, using their strong teeth to crush hard shells. They can grow up to 4 feet long and are closely related to tegus. 🐾

Caring for exotic species like this requires proper nutrition, specialized housing, and routine veterinary care. Call us today at (480)696-7744 to book your exotic pet’s appointment! 📞
