What You Can Expect and How You Can Prepare for Your First Appointment
The first appointment at Medlin Exotics will vary depending on the animal that you bring and what its needs are at the time of its arrival. However, there are three basic portions that you can expect. These are:
- A thorough evaluation and review of your husbandry
- A physical exam by an experienced exotic veterinarian
- Recommendations for additional diagnostics and treatments
Many illnesses of exotic animals can be directly attributed to deficiencies in husbandry. Please complete our husbandry and new client paperwork prior to the first exam to help expedite this process. Filling out the paperwork ahead of time can also give you an opportunity to list the specific brands and compositions of food, substrate, etc. that your pet uses, which can help us guide you as optimally and specifically as possible.
Please aim to arrive fifteen minutes early to your scheduled appointment so that we are able to have enough time to complete each of these three tasks and have time to address all of your concerns.
