Exotic Patient Care

We provide wellness and emergency care for your exotic pets

Pocket pets and exotic pets can require just as much, if not more preventive and wellness care than their dog and cat counterparts. Improper housing and improper diets are responsible for a high percentage of illness in exotic pets. We recommend a wellness exam as soon as your new pet joins the family. Dr. Gerald Nance enjoys working with these non-traditional patients. During your appointment, our veterinarians work with you to ensure the best possible diet, care and husbandry right from the start. Additionally, our doctors can answer questions about your pet's behavior, proper handling methods and whether your pet should spayed or neutered.

For your pet's first visit, bring along a photo of his or her housing and bedding. You may also want to bring a sample of your pet's food or information from the food's label. These items can provide important information as you and the veterinarian work together to keep your pet happy and healthy.


​Some of the exotics that we regularly see include:
​​​​​​​
* birds (large and small)
* reptiles
* amphibians
* guinea pigs
* ferrets
​* rabbits
* chinchillas
* hedgehogs
smaller rodents (rats, gerbils, hamsters, mice)
​

EMERGENCY SERVICES

Due to very short staffing we will be offering limited after-hours coverage during the month of February-March. This was a hard decision to make, but a necessity to allow our doctors to provide care during the day. We will still have VetTriage available 24 hours a day for telehealth consultations and will have a doctor available for on-call services some weeknights. We will not offer in-hospital after-hours coverage February 27, March 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 22, 23, 26, 27, 29, 30. We advise our clients to be mindful of this limitation and keep their animals indoors, on leash and under supervision to prevent injury by car, porcupine quills, dog fights and lacerations. If you perceive an emergency situation outside of business hours, please reach out to VetTriage. If you contact VetTriage and they recommend contacting our office the following business day, please call (907)789-7551 at 7:30AM to secure an appointment. If you perceive a medical issue with your animal during business hours, please contact our office early so we can advise you if a same day urgent care appointment is needed.

To continue offering after-hours care to our clients and patients we must make a few changes.
Starting today, October 15th, we will be offering after-hours care only between the hours of 5pm and 10pm. Weekend days we will cover between 8am and 10pm. If you are unsure if your animal is having a life threatening emergency please reach out to VetTriage well before 10pm to see if your animal requires emergency medical attention. If you need help after 10pm reach out to VetTriage and they will give you medical advice and instruct you what to do until your animal can be seen.
Starting today, October 15th, we will no longer be treating patients for clients that are established with and receiving treatment at other local clinics. We will treat patients that have been established with our practice and have received routine services (yearly examinations, vaccinations, spay or neuter) within the last 24 months. We will also see patients that are new to Juneau and are not established with a local clinic.

For after hours emergency services we have partnered with VetTriage to offer video telehealth services. The VetTriage veterinarians are available 24/7 and for a consult fee they will assess your pet on live video chat to determine if your pet requires immediate emergency care, or simply monitoring at home until we reopen. In the event of an emergency they will coordinate your visit with the on call veterinarian. Please click the button below to initiate the telehealth service.
