Welcome to Tennessee Avenue Animal Hospital, where our experienced veterinary team provides dedicated exotic pet care for Cincinnati's lizards owners. From bearded dragons to geckos, lizards have specific husbandry needs, and many health problems trace back to temperature, lighting, or diet.
Reptile health is closely tied to husbandry, and improper UVB lighting, temperature, or diet are behind many of the illnesses we see in pet lizards. We offer both husbandry consultations and hands-on veterinary care to help catch and correct problems like metabolic bone disease before they become severe.
Your pet's comfort and safety are our top priorities throughout every exotic pet visit at Tennessee Avenue Animal Hospital.
We'll review your lizard's enclosure setup, including temperature gradient, UVB lighting, and diet, to identify any gaps affecting their health.
We check body condition, limbs, and jaw for signs of metabolic bone disease, along with skin and mouth health.
A fecal exam can identify internal parasites, which are common in reptiles and often go unnoticed without testing.
X-rays may be recommended to evaluate bone density or investigate other suspected health issues.
Exotic pets are skilled at hiding signs of illness, which means problems can be well underway before they become obvious at home. Regular veterinary care helps catch health issues early, when they're easiest to treat.
Our team is comfortable examining and treating a wide range of exotic species, going beyond the basics that many general practices offer.
Catching illness early leads to better outcomes and less invasive treatment, especially for species that hide symptoms well.
Many exotic pet health issues trace back to diet, housing, or environment, so we take the time to review these factors as part of your pet's care.
If your pet is showing any of the following, please contact our veterinary team:
An annual wellness exam is recommended for pet lizards, along with a husbandry check any time you make changes to their enclosure or notice signs of illness.
