🐾SHOUT OUT TO OUR AMAZING DOCTORS🐾
Most exotic patients can feel nervous and timid when introduced to new environments, but when they choose to explore and interact with our veterinarians it’s always such a special occasion! Dr. Pritchett, Dr. Kersting, and Dr. Canada are all so amazing at making our exotics feel at home! 🥰

Regular handling, positive reinforcement, and socialization is a great way to prepare your pet for their annual exams!

Thank you all for trusting us with your beloved companions ❤️

Dr. Canada experienced a bit of tropical nostalgia this week with a toucan! Dr. Canada went to Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine located down in St. Kitts where it is all warm and tropical 🌴☀️ A similar vibe of the Toco Toucan that comes from the warm South American rainforests!

Dr. Canada did an annual examination on this timid girl yesterday, and she passed with FLYING colors 🥰

Toucans require a special diet that can be pretty strict! Ever been told you need more iron in your diet? Well, toucans are the opposite! A low iron diet is needed for these big billed babies since a dangerous amount of iron can build up in their liver. Lots of toucan safe fruits and formulated low-iron pellet is recommended ❤️

Feliz Día de los Mu***os!

Today, we honor and remember the beloved companions who have crossed the rainbow bridge but left paw prints, claw prints, and footprints on our hearts. 🧡

Our family pets are said to come back to visit us tonight and pay us a well needed visit! Today is an amazing day to reflect on each pet, the memories made with them, and how our lives were forever changed when they came home with us for the first time. 🥰

From our loyal dogs and cuddly cats to our feathered, scaly, and exotic friends, every animal leaves behind a special kind of love that never fades. 🐶🐱🦜🦎🐰

On this Día de los Mu***os, we celebrate the memories, unconditional love, and joy our cherished pets brought into our lives. Though they may no longer be by our side, they will forever be part of our families. 🌈🕯️

Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts. 💜

🌼 We’d love to honor your beloved pets with you! Share a photo or a favorite memory of a furry, feathered, or scaly friend.

Dr. Mitchell Canada represented Bird Medicine and Surgery this year and attended the 47th annual Association of Avian Veterinary seminar down in Austin, Texas for five days of lectures and wet labs. Veterinarians from all over the world, gather once a year to gain the latest knowledge in medicine and surgery and research for parrots. Dr. Canada was excited about Borna virus testing that can be done in hospital without being sent out to a commercial lab. He greatly enjoyed his chicken Ultrasound Lab and surgery of the chicken reproductive system and digestive system. He has definitely come back a wiser veterinarian! We will be sharing all the latest information at one of the upcoming Gateway parrot club meetings.

Dr. Pritchett will be attending the VMX seminar in Orlando to obtain her training and education in avian and exotic medicine and surgery. Her labs will be on Rabbit Surgery and Avian Endoscopy.

Boarding for your Bird? We Say Vacation for your Bird! 🦜

We love to interact with all of our boarders in ways that are personal to them! One of Pickles’s favorite things is playing peekaboo right before bed! We have so much fun getting to know each and every bird and watching their personalities shine as they stay with us🥰.

During their “vacation” stay, we offer music, tv, toys, treats, and specialized care for each bird. They get to see other members of their feathered family which we believe is very mentally enriching as well!

Don’t have a bird? We board dogs, cats, and small mammals! We also make accommodations for birds other than parrots! Most recently we’ve boarded chickens, waterfowl, pigeons, doves, finches, and toucan.

If you’re going on vacation, having home renovations, or simply just gone for the day and need someone to look after your feathered family member, we at Kersting’s Veterinary are here to meet all of your needs!

Veterinary Care can be a Fashion Statement😎

Harley was in yesterday for quite unusual looking spa day! Laser therapy can be used to help animals recover after injuries, ease joint pain, and keep them feeling comfortable in an very noninvasive way 🙂 This therapy helps in cellular repair, circulation, releasing endorphins, and decreased inflammation.
Harley is wearing her super cool PPE for her therapy as the laser can harm your eyes if exposure occurs… she makes healing fashionable 🥰
Everyone in the room must wear their specialized protective eyewear, so we all can leave happy and healthy!

🐾 Help Us Find Forever Homes for Tahyla’s Babies! 🐾

During the warmer months, outdoor cats have tons of litters… and sweet Tahlya was adopted after being found outside herself. Her caring owner noticed that something seemed a little off about her very soon after lovingly bringing her home. Yesterday, at just 9 months old, we were able to confirm that Tahlya is pregnant with an estimated 5-6 kittens herself! ❤️

Now we’re preparing for a whole litter of tiny lives that will soon need safe, loving forever homes. Our goal is to make sure each of Tahyla’s kittens grows up surrounded by the love, care, and commitment they deserve. 🏡🐱

If you or someone you know is looking to add a kitten to your family, please keep these little ones in mind! We’ll share more updates as they arrive and grow.

In the meantime, please share this post to help us reach potential adopters. Every share could help one of these babies find their forever family. 💕🐾

More details about adoption will be available as the kittens get closer to being ready for their new homes.
