Exotic animal health refers to the care and management of non-traditional pets and wildlife, such as reptiles, birds, and small mammals. These animals often have unique health needs that differ from common pets like dogs and cats. Proper veterinary care is essential to ensure their well-being, including regular check-ups, vaccinations, and specialized diets. Veterinarians who specialize in exotic animal health must be knowledgeable about the specific diseases and conditions that affect these species. They also need to understand the proper husbandry practices, such as habitat requirements and social needs, to promote the overall health of exotic pets and wildlife.
