Exotic Animal Surgery
We have provided specialist dental care for the animals of Edinburgh Zoo and others institutions, most notably the Hong Kong based charity AnimalsAsia, since 1992.
Over this period we have acted in partnership with the resident veterinary teams to treat various oral problems in ungulate herbivores, big cats and bears.
Dental care of wild animals is very different from our normal domestic species. Firstly, the need for intervention almost always is due to close attention and observation by the keepers. Secondly, the actual anaesthetic procedure often carries a high degree of risk. To that end we aim to complete the procedure as quickly as possible with a regimen that allows rapid return to function without the need for regular repeat procedures.
We have a mobile facility that requires only anaesthetic and radiological equipment.
