Unusual pet? Call with the species, age, diet, enclosure setup and symptoms. Exotic animals can decline quickly, so early advice matters.
Species Dr. Faisal can advise on
- Birds and parrots, including African greys, macaws, cockatiels, budgies and falcons
- Reptiles, including tortoises, turtles, lizards, geckos and snakes
- Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and other small mammals
- Ferrets and unusual exotic mammals by appointment discussion
- Complex or rare species where general clinics may not be comfortable
Why exotic pets need specialist judgement
Birds, reptiles and small mammals often hide illness until the situation is serious. Their diet, temperature, enclosure, humidity and handling history can be as important as the physical exam. Dr. Faisal's 44+ years in Abu Dhabi give him practical experience that newer clinics cannot easily replicate.
Common signs that need urgent advice
Call quickly for breathing changes, appetite loss, weakness, abnormal droppings, swelling, wounds, egg binding signs, burns, falls, heat stress, eye problems or sudden behaviour change.
