Thoughtful Diagnosis for Tailored Treatment

Every species is unique, and so is every diagnosis. Our approach begins with state-of-the-art diagnostics to accurately identify the condition and stage the extent of disease. This may include:

  • Imaging
  • Biopsies
  • Specialized bloodwork

Using these insights, our team will craft a care plan that aligns with your pet’s needs and your goals.

Advanced Therapy Options

Understanding your pet's unique anatomy and condition, our surgical team may recommend surgery, chemotherapy, or palliative care. Procedures are performed with precision and a focus on minimizing recovery time while maximizing comfort and outcomes.

While cancer treatment may feel overwhelming, many exotic and avian pets tolerate these interventions remarkably well, often adapting quickly to the care provided. We want our pet families to feel confident knowing their pet’s care is supported by the expertise of specialists who understand the complexities of exotic animal oncology.
