Gulf Coast Avian and Exotics is an exclusively bird and exotic pet practice staffed by a team of board-certified veterinary specialists, interns, and personnel trained specifically for the care of your pet. By collaborating with other specialists in the hospital, we are able to provide the most up-to-date medical and surgical care for your pet, while keeping in mind of the unique needs of your exotic pet. Out patients encompass a wide variety of species, including birds, reptiles, amphibians, rabbits, hedgehogs, chinchillas, guinea pigs, hamsters, and a number of other small mammals. In the case where your pet may need to be hospitalized, these patients receive 24-hour care in a separate ward to minimize stress and in cages specifically designed to suit your pet’s unique needs. Experienced technicians and staff play a key role in providing specialized care for our patients.
