    Dr. Wendt is the only exotic vet there now. Dr. Rubenstein was the one that did the abscess surgery and whatnot with Sue, but Dr. Wendt was the one that was able to point us to Blue Pearl.

    [Dr. Schneider] did brilliant work on Amee's spay. Dr. Kelleher is on limited office hours since she's just had a baby (which delayed Mr. Snuggles's neuter by a month).

    Vanessa sees GP's at her practice and has had a small 'herd' of them herself at one time and has been practicing vet med on exotics (including guinea pigs) since 1991.

    Vanessa writes: "Our general focus is on well-pig care and we try as much as possible to have people bring pigs in before problems. I tend to focus on internal medicine as well. Surgery is not performed as much mainly because the majority of people who bring in pigs only when they are sick enough to notice, are generally not anticipating the financial investment that more intensive therapy like surgery entails (unfortunately the pet stores sell pigs as low-maintenance pets that 'never have to see the vet'), so we end up with them declining surgery and wishing palliative care, medical therapy (such as attempts to deal with ovarian cysts with hormones rather than spaying). I have performed several cystotomies, abdominal tumor removals, and several urethral endoscopic procedures trying to track down a stone or bladder/ urethral polyps. We do end up neutering quite a number, and doing a lot of dental procedures due to improper diet (low fiber, low vitamin C).

    "The hospital I have been in for the last year just used to be birds so the mammals are only now starting to trickle in. My hospital in Virginia before, used to see several pigs per week as well as a lot of other rodents and lots of rabbits.

    "I used to breed pigs as a young veterinary student. I am proud to say I may have been the instigator for Oxbow to create Critical Care, by giving the person who did all the work to put it together, the idea that this product was needed for the small herbivore. We are a proud distributor of Oxbow products."

Maitland (Orlando area)
  • Lake Howell Animal Clinic
    www.lakehowellanimalclinic.com
    Dr. Orlando Diaz-Figueroa
    856 Lake Howell Road
    Maitland, FL 32751

    Phone: 407-628-8000

    Dr. Diaz was recommended to me by Dr. Porter of Kirkman Road Veterinary Clinic when it became clear that my six-year-old Shakira needed to be spayed. He is an avian/exotics specialist who is well-experienced with surgery. He required a pre-surgery checkup including an x-ray, and spent lots of time with me answering questions about the procedure. Did a wonderful job on the surgery, and now, at only a week after the op, if you didn't see Shakira's tummy you wouldn't know she had a spay at all. She is looking and acting that normal. Exam fee is a bit more pricey than most at $65.00 per office visit, but the top-notch care is worth it. Great vet, and I absolutely recommend him.

Stuart / (30 miles north of West Palm Beach)
  • Stuart Animal Hospital
    http://www.stuartanimalhospital.com/
    Dr. Robert Katz, DVM, MS, CVA
    3003 SE Federal Highway
    Stuart, FL 34994

    Phone: (772) 287-2242

    Dr. Katz really loves treating exotics, he loves the challenge. He perfectly neutered Randy in November. He has treated Cervical Lymphadenitis in my male herd (4 boars). He drained Squirrely's abcesses and knew what antibiotic to give him. He treated the other 3 guys, with CL lumps, with oral antibiotics very successfully.

    He is very knowledgable about cavies. Dr. Katz is very open to all and any printed information I bring to him from Guinea Lynx or other sites.
    I would highly recommend Dr. Katz and am very grateful that he is in our community.
