The exotic animal department provides a medical and surgical service for reptiles, birds, fish and exotic mammals.
The practice has had strong links with exotic animal medicine and surgery for many years. This side of the practice is run by Mr Chris Artingstall who was veterinary officer for Bristol Zoo for many years. During his career Chris has amassed a wealth of experience in the more unusual patients that we are asked to look after. Chris is helped by Tim Knott who has a particular interest in fish disease and also ophthalmology in all species.
