Some pets are exotic...others have exotic personalities! We have a passion for both!

Good News:  The Clinic has moved

Oklahoma Exotic Pet Clinic is excited to announce that there are two new owners:

Dr. Zachary S.Coldiron and Dr. Matthew E. Zimmerman.  The clinic has moved from Guthrie to Edmond and is located just south of the Kelly Ave. and Second Street intersection.  We know this will be a more convenient location for most people.  It shares the building with Stoneridge Animal Hospital, which cares for dogs and cats. 

 

Dr. Coldiron and Zimmerman have a special interest in exotic pets and provide advanced care for all species of pets. 

They routinely treat birds, ferrets, rabbits,

guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, lizards,

snakes, turtles, and fish.  They have even

taken care of the more unusual pets

such as monkeys and raccoons.  

Dr. Pilar Fish is still working at the

National Aviary in Pennsylvania and

acts as a consultant.

 

          Oklahoma Exotic Pet Clinic now

has grown to have more special services,

such as new dental procedures for rabbits

and vaccination plans.  There is even an

emergency service available for evenings

and weekends.  Call (405) 282-8842 or

(405) 359-3340 for more information. 

         

 

Turtles:  A Challenging Pet

 

     Box turtles are captivating pets.  They are energetic and entertaining. 

Keeping a pet turtle healthy only requires 3 main parts to its cage:

          1. special lights

          2. heater

          3. diet

 

     The light needs to be a “reptile UV light” that mimics the beneficial

effects of basking in the sun. 

     The heater needs to keep the cage warm even at night when the lights are out

(up to 80 F).  

     The diet should be a mix of meat and vegetables.  Turtles have a high requirement for vitamin A.  Foods such as sweet potato, carrots, and squashes will give them the required vitamin A.
