Avian & Exotic Animal Hospital, Inc.

I was recommended this place by a friend when my hamster passed away, because I was looking for cremation services. The front desk crew are all extremely empathetic and kind. I was so blessed to be welcomed and sent off by such sweet people. I may have scurried off because I was embarrassed to be crying, but the kindness had quite the impact on my grief and I highly recommend this clinic. If I am to get another pet, I will surely make this my go-to place for check-ups. RIP Meatball, thank you so much to the folks here for making such a heart-wrenching loss feel much more bearable

I brought my red eared slider Rufus in with an eye infection. Dr. Gillette saw him promptly, evaluated him, and prescribed antibiotic shots. His eye is back to normal now and he is doing great. All the staff were also very kind and helpful. Thank you!

Avian and Exotic has saved my elder rabbit’s life on multiple occasions. Unfortunately, as my rabbit has gotten older he is more prone to GI stasis. The very first time he went into GI stasis I took him to an emergency vet in the middle of the night that claimed to care for exotics and charged me a thousand dollars just to tell me he was dying and that they were unable to place an IV (after shaving both front legs). I called Avian and Exotic the moment they opened the next day and they were able to nurse him back to health while keeping me informed of his progress multiple times a day. My rabbit has been treated by all of the doctor’s and I have felt comforted and informed every time. There is no one else I trust with my rabbit. Their boarding has also come in handy and brings peace of mind when I travel. I would recommend them 10 times over!

This review is probably the most important I have posted to google, I decided to write it up on my laptop because the work this vet clinic does can be a matter of life and death. My 2 year old Holland Lop is named Buddy. He is litter box trained and lives inside the house. Buddy is usually very outgoing and social, about a week ago I noticed his energy was off and quickly got worse. Sometimes with bunnies they can be temperamental depending on time of year, time of day, etc. Initially I was not worried until he did not eat his dinner. That was a red flag for me but because that has happened a few times in his life, I did not panic. Over the course of the next few evening hours, Buddy lacked normal behavior and he started having trouble keeping his head up or showing his normal alertness. By the time I felt I needed to get Buddy medical treatment, all the local exotic vets were closed and I could not afford the 600.00 bucks for the an emergency visits to one of the big box pet hospitals. I stayed up with Buddy all night, monitoring him and just encourage him to keep fighting. My bunny groomer had previously praised Avian so I put Buddy in his travel crate and took him there 30 minutes before they opened. This was on a Thursday. The clinic was already staffed and they immediately checked Buddy in. I cant say enough about how much I appreciated that Avian made Buddy a priority and the vet diagnosed him before they opened to their normal scheduled appointments. The vet believed Buddy has a life threatening infection and he was immediately placed on medications and I was to continue the treatments at home for the next week. Within a few hours of leaving Avian Buddy started showing signs of life but I had to force feed and drink Buddy for the next 5 days. It is very dangerous for bunnies to stop eating and drinking water, their bodies require constant nourishment. The vet did an awesome job explaining everything. I have just found my new favorite spot to take my bunny. The attention was fast and the price was a third of what the hospital wanted just to check him in. Thank you Avian for saving Buddy!

Dr Gilet was incredible for my little ratties. I brought in Pancake who had several tumors and sadly was not eligible for surgery. She told me my options around euthanasia and we scheduled the appointment for a few weeks later. She allowed me to have time with pancake during all stages of the process, and allowed her sister (Potato) to see her when she went as well. I had her assess Potato who only had one large tumor. She was able to take Potato in for surgery that same day and remove the mass. Potato’s recovery has been such a success. Her stitches have held so well (keeping in mind Potato is a very good girl) and seeing her regain her ability to walk and climb normally has been so amazing to see. Thank you Dr Gilet!!
