Preventive Care

Dental Care
Overgrown teeth is a common problem among chinchillas. The spurs or points of the teeth can do serious damage to your chinchilla if it goes untreated. Watch for any changes in your chinchillas eating habits, excessive drooling, or even diarrhea. Having your vet perform an oral exam on your chinchilla can help prevent the teeth from overgrowing. If you observe any of these signs you should see your veterinarian immediately.
Vaccination
Discuss the benefits and risks of vaccination and observe your ferret in the veterinarian’s office for at least 20 minutes follow distemper vaccines given to ferrets over one year of age. Rabies vaccination should be given at 16 weeks and then annually.
Veterinary Ophthalmology
Most common eye problems in Chinchillas are injuries; scratches from hay, etc. Rinse her eye out well using saline solution and if it’s not way better right away you should have it seen. We don’t like waiting on eye problems!
Behavioral Counseling
These problems are rooted in the bird being hand-fed (and not raised by its parents). We treat them just as they would be treated with people with a combination of drugs and behavior modification.
Nutritional Counseling
Hi I have a young male hedgehog that is around 2 years old. He has bloody soft stools and a decreased appetite. He has had a course of antibiotics and wormer and has not improved. I am keeping his fluids up. Could you suggest other causes could it be a tumor or IBS?
Comprehensive Examination
Most birds will be required to have a Psittacosis test, and Old World birds may be required to get a Psittacine Beak and Feather test. This will be determined by the doctor during the physical examination.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Fecal exams should be performed on newly acquired reptiles and repeated annually. A fresh fecal, preserved in the refrigerator for no more than 24 hours, should be submitted to your veterinarian for a microscopic parasite exam. A parasite is an organism that lives in or on another organism. Internal parasites are more common and can be difficult to diagnose. Internal parasites produce microscopic eggs which pass through the reptile in their feces. If your veterinarian has a negative finding, test again. A single negative finding does not necessarily mean your reptile is free of parasites. If fecal samples come back negative two or more times, it is safe to assume your reptile is parasite free. However, if your reptile does have parasites, which many of them do, they can be treated. A veterinarian exam is necessary for proper treatment of your reptile.
Pain Management
Pain medication is given prior to the time the ferret awakens from the anesthetic and repeated in the evening. Further pain medication is usually not required. Intravenous fluids are continued until the patient is eating on it’s own.
Vomiting Treatment
Diarrhea Treatment
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
The litter box can be a source of medical problems as well as training frustrations. Clay kitty litter or clumping litter have proven to be a problem as they can cause upper respiratory irritation (dust), dry dirty coat (they roll in it), and airway obstructions (gets in nose and mouth). Corncob bedding is not recommended as it harbors mold, is not digestible and can be a source of intestinal impaction if swallowed. Pine and cedar shavings contain volatile pine oils and turpentines that cause upper respiratory irritation and have been shown to cause liver enzyme elevation and can cause respiratory tract and skin irritation in the human household members.
Upper Respiratory Illness Treatment
Cage bedding should be nontoxic, absorbent, and relatively dust free. Avoid cedar or pine shavings as they cause respiratory problems in hedgehogs. Shredded paper works well and is cost efficient. Our hospital recommends

Intestinal Foreign Object Removal

Infection Treatment

Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
The fungal infections are “baby mammal” problems. As your chin’s get older they are less and less likely to become infected again. Additionally, the most common fungal infections, ring worm (dermatophytes) infection are caused by
Urinary Tract Infection Treatment
The most common problems we are presented with include: scurvy (hypo-vitaminosis C), urinary tract infections and stones, fungal and parasitic skin infections, and teeth problems. We will cover these problems in separate postings.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Diabetes Treatment
Thyroid Disease Treatment
Epilepsy Treatment
Heart Disease Treatment
Pulmonary disease may result from a variety of causes including heart disease, fungal, bacterial, viral and parasitic pneumonia or pneumonitis, and airborne toxins. Symptomatic treatment should include oxygen, antibiotics, and other supportive therapy such as diuretics. The use of bronchodialators and corticosteroid are controversial. Nebulization of medication and or humidification will benefit some patients.
Kidney Disease Treatment
I recommend against using the vitamin supplement. We see a too many iguanas die of kidney failure that age given vitamin D3.
Cancer Treatment
The author has experimented with chemotherapy aimed at killing the cancer tissue. Two drugs have been used to treat insulinoma in other species and hold promise for treating the disease in ferrets. These drugs are highly toxic to insulin producing cells and have been used in medical research to produce diabetic animal models (animals that can not make insulin). This research is in very early stages and their routine use of these drugs is many months to years away.

Wound and Fracture Care
Scratches and bite wounds very often lead to a fatal septicemia if not treated aggressively. The patient should be evaluated for its overall condition and treated appropriately for blood loss or hypotension. The extent of wounds should be evaluated. If the patient’s condition allows, wounds should be thoroughly flushed and fractures stabilized. Aggressive antibiotics should be begun early in treatment. Piperacillin or cefotaxime combined with amikacin or tobramycin are a good choice and should be continued for a minimum of 5 days is indicated in these cases. If septicemia is suspected treatment for septic shock should be instituted (intravenous fluids, rapid acting steroids, and intravenous bactericidal antibiotics).
Poisoning Treatment

Dental Surgery
Have you ever performed oral surgery on an amazon parrot to remove an abscess? My current doctor is suggesting that for my parrot (mex-red head) who she says my 32yr old parrot has an oral abscess. Antibiotics and nebulizing treatments haven’t helped. One website commented they are sometimes lanced. The doctor did a culture and it showed several bacteria.
Veterinary Surgery
Timely diagnosis may make the difference between life and death in these cases and should be aggressively pursued. If hemorrhage is unapparent in an animal with a history of recent trauma, serous ongoing internal hemorrhage should be assumed to be ongoing until proven otherwise the patient should be hospitalized for several hours for observation.3 External hemorrhage is not difficult to diagnose. Volume of blood loss may be estimated with the aid of history, blood on the cage or carrier floor papers or in the materials used to wrap the patient prior to presentation. Diagnosis and/or assessment of blood volume loss is much more difficult with internal hemorrhage. Patients presented with a history of trauma along with signs of hypovolemia or hypotension should be assumed to have sustained internal hemorrhage. Hemorrhage into the bird’s abdomen and into bone and muscle compartments are the most common in the authors experience. Discoloration or bruising of the abdominal wall, especially along the ventral midline and caudal on the ventral abdomen, may give a clue to hemorrhage. Radiology and endoscopy may aid in locating the site. Removing the feathers from a traumatized limb or the trunk area may aid in locating hemorrhage in those locations. Bruised or swollen areas should be evaluated for an increase in the size of the swelling or diameter of the limb. Definitive location of internal hemorrhage may require exploratory surgery.
Spaying and Neutering
We recommend spaying or castration at 6 months of age. This allows kits to develop their normal sexually influenced size and body characteristics.*

General Pet Care

Boarding
Dr. Jenkins and the Avian & Exotic Animal Hospital are on the cover of the May 2013 edition of San Diego Pets Magazine. You can find San Diego Pets Magazine in most San Diego area pet stores, animal boarding facilities, and even many grocery stores. or you can find it on line. The article … Read more
Grooming
Dog Training
My question is about his bedding. We have been using 98% dust free kiln dried pine from the feed store. The vet said this could be the problem and suggested recycled newspapers or Carefresh. These options are much more expensive than the pine. I have been researching the use of a fleece liner with puppy training pads underneath to absorb moisture. When I consulted the vet she said he might eat it. Couldn’t he eat any bedding option? What is your opinion on guinea pig bedding? Thank you so much for your thoughts.

Bird Vet
Call the veterinarians in your area and ask the receptionist “who in this area is is the best bird vet for me to take my cockatiel?” You should get a consensus. That is the guy you want to take your little friend to to have it evaluated and treated.
Exotic Animal Vet
To find a vet, call around to pet shops and veterinarians in your area and ask “who is the best exotic animal veterinarian in the area.” You should get a consensus of opinion. If there is not anyone who sees lots of exotics, find a veterinarian that you can communicate with and have them call our hospital for a consultation on the case and we will help them along.
Small Animal Vet
Make sure your husbandry is spot on (see above) and try to “hot pack” (you can hold a warm wet wash cloth against his face) and hope it open and the hard “kernel” of pus comes out. You may need to get one of your local veterinarians to get you some antibiotics. We do consulting. Find a small animal veterinarian you can communicate with and have them call for a consult.
Reptile Vet
Mites, blood sucking arachnids related to spiders, may appear black, red or orange, or old dried blood in color. They can be found roaming the body, or tucked under edges of scales around the eyes, ears, or tympanic membranes. Mites are a common external parasite, and in most cases are microscopic or at the limit that may be seen without magnification. Mites can be difficult to treat, since they can live in your reptile’s environment for long periods of time. If your reptile has external parasites, you will need to treat both your reptile, and it’s environment. Most “miracle treatments” sold in pet stores are generally ineffective. The best way to treat your reptile is with warm soap and water soaks. The animal’s environment must be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized. To sterilize the cage, remove and change substrate, bake any wood items in the oven, boil rocks, and bleach enclosure and any food and water bowls. Consult a competent reptile veterinarian before using insecticides on your animals.
