	Exotic animal veterinarian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Exotics are roughly defined as species of the animal kingdom other than the most common companion (pet) and farm livestock mammals.
		Many exotic animals such as ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, small rodents, etc. are very different in anatomy and physiology to dogs and cats, and to specialize in their treatment, a veterinary student must seek out coursework and residencies that are beyond the scope of standard veterinary school.
		Exotic veterinarians are certified by the Association of Exotic Mammal Veterinarians.

	Veterinarian discusses exotic animal care
		Exotic animal veterinary medicine practitioners, on the other hand, must be knowledgeable in the biology, nutrition and behavior of hundreds of species.
		Carpenter said examining and treating exotic animals also requires both a firm understanding of disease processes and the ability to apply that knowledge in practice and solve problems in a rational manner.
		In traditional veterinary medicine, animals such as dogs and cats are tame and can be examined without a physical threat, but that is often not the case with wild or exotic animals.

	Critter Care by Animals Exotique-animal care, caging, habitats and feeding
		Animals kept in your house or in an animal building should receive at least 8 hours of light a day.
		Obviously a vet with a background and experience with exotics is preferable but if a veterinarian has an interest in learning about other species, he has the medical background to do so.
		Veterinarian services and proper care may appear expensive at times, but if you purchase any animal, you are also taking on a responsibility for that animals health as well as an obligation to that animals physical and emotional well being.
