This little chinchilla recently had surgery to remove a chronic tail wound. Despite wonderful care at home and bandage management the wound would not heal and was causing chronic pain. After suegery we placed a syringe over the surgery site to allow us to monitor but keep it protected from any nibbling. Wishing this little bean a speedy recovery!

Quick little photo dump of the week from the reptile room. Trying to work on some photo skills with all my animals, so here are this week's selections! As always, Fig the leaf turtle is the star of the show.

I didn't expect to have an update so soon, but this little turtle is determined to get better! Next step is a name, then working on a permanent enclosure.

I try to source as much decor as I can from outside as possible. The cost of supplies can climb pretty quickly on the bigger builds so this can really help cut costs. Ill leave this wood raised off the ground and in direct sun until I'm ready to use it!

For those who were wondering about the turtle tail fracture. I can take this supportive care approach because the tail has started to heal already, there are no concerning symptoms related to the fracture, and I don't expect any long term complications at this point.

As a veterinarian my work sometimes follows me home. While I never planned to have a second alligator snapping turtle in my house, I knew I was this little one's best option. I'm hoping for the best and now that they're showing some signs of improvement we've started working on names. So far "The Boulder" is the winning choice, but what do you guys think?

This lovely rabbit presented for grooming issues; due to excess skin there was buildup of f***s and urine scald despite how hard her owner worked to keep her clean. To solve the issue we performed a vulvoplasty to remove excess skin and prevent recurrent buildup. An elliptical incision was made in the affected area to remove the excess skin fold. She did well with the procedure and not only has she healed well, but she's no longer struggling with grooming issues.

Starting to think the wildlife hanging in the garden are here for the free health care, but I'm okay with it since it let's me feel like snow white if she had a beard and tattoos.
