Exotics Vet Care Cases
At Middle Creek, we have treated numerous exotic species, from axolotls to ocelots. Here are just a few examples of how we have helped exotic pets thrive.
Small Mammal Case: Hazelnut, Rabbit
We treated a Rabbit named Hazelnut when she was six years old. She came in with her owner, who’s also a vet at a dog and cat clinic. She brought Hazelnut to our offices because she thought that she had a tooth root abscess due to her extreme facial swelling.

Bird Case: Poppy, Toulouse Goose
Poppy was one and a half when she was brought to our office. Her owner brought her in for a limp as well as a swollen toe. The Taluf goose is often used to make foie gras, so they are bred to get really heavy and fat very quickly, and as a result, they can be prone to foot injuries due to their weight.

Reptile Case: Jenny, Iguana
Jenny the iguana was brought to our office as a 5-year-old iguana. She was spayed at a young age but was brought in because she wasn’t eating or pooping.

From Our Clients
“Dr. Swan and her fabulous team are hands down the best veterinarian team around! They have cared for my veiled chameleon since he was a little guy and continue to do so in the best manner possible! Everyone is so genuine and caring and goes over and beyond for Aiko when we bring him in. I recommend this amazing team to anyone who has an exotic pet needing great care. I would give 5000000 stars if I could!”
“This practice has a phenomenal team! I moved to this side of town and looked for a new vet because ours retired. I have had multiple instances where I need to make an urgent visit and have had my fur babies seen. I am so appreciative of the love and care we receive from everyone. Our babies are always in good hands.”
“My family and I love Middle Creek and have been taking all of our pets there for years! Our dogs, cats, hamsters, bearded dragon, and ball python couldn’t get better care anywhere else! The nurses are wonderful! Racheal and Toni are always knowledgeable and kind! Dr. Swan and team are compassionate and treat our pets like they’re their own. Thank you, everyone at Middle Creek for all you do!”
“The staff is very professional, caring, and knowledgeable. This is definitely a place to trust for the care of your fur-babies, feather-babies, scaly-babies and other kinds of animal babies.”
“Almost about a year ago, my cockatiel (Capella) became very sick. I had been in and out of veterinary offices, the emergency vet, and a vet up in Durham. I decided to try middle creek, as everything the previous vets had done was not working. My first of many visits with middle creek were a great experience. The staff were all very kind and were gentle/caring with Capella, she definitely loved all the attention she received under their care. I felt that the services were reasonable and affordable. We saw a different vet every time when we had an appointment, and they were all very caring and informative. We had tried numerous antibiotics with no luck, so we proceeded with an X-ray. Unfortunately, masses were found in her lungs, so they referred me to NC State to look into it more in-depth. The vet that gave me the referral was very empathetic toward my situation and showed much concern for Capella. The vet did not sugarcoat the situation and was honest, which I greatly appreciate due to the fact that Capella was suffering and it was an urgent case. When I took her to NC State, unfortunately they discovered she had a rare form of cancer in her lungs and there was nothing we could do, so I had to make the hard decision to put her to rest. I’m extremely grateful for all the staff at Middle Creek and for being so involved with Capella’s care, as well as her well-being. Everyone was very helpful and made the many months-long battle a little less stressful. I know that Capella had appreciated everything they did for her as well, in trying to make her feel better. Capella’s pain came to an end in August 2022, but I’m writing this review now to give a big thank you to all the staff at Middle Creek vet!”
