The Challenges of Surgery For Small Mammals, Birds, and Reptiles

When your small or exotic pet needs surgery, it’s crucial that you don’t waste precious time with a vet who is unable to perform that surgery. Small and exotic animals have unique needs when it comes to surgery.

For one thing, small creatures have very different internal structures than larger creatures. In particular, when it comes to reptiles and birds, these creatures have a completely different kind of anatomy than mammals, and vice versa.

The second challenge is those small creatures cannot be operated on with the same surgical instruments that are used on, for instance, cats and dogs. Because of the very small size and unique anatomy of these small mammals, birds, and reptiles, standard surgical instruments are insufficient. A very special set of surgical instruments must be used, from the size of the stethoscope to the size of every other surgical instrument needed. Therefore, it’s important that you go properly equipped to handle small and exotic mammals, birds, and reptiles.
