Exotic pets, especially birds, are often excellent additions to nursing homes and care facilities.  Two cockatiels out for play time with their owner.
Dental disease is very common in pet rabbits.  This table top dental positioner allows a thorough examination of both incisors and molars of the rabbit.  This rabbit is anesthetized with gas anesthesia and positioned to allow adjustment of the length of the molars with a high speed dental unit.

While rabbits and ferrets make up the majority of small exotic mammal pets, animals like this young fennec fox are occasionally presented for medical care.  Unusual pets like this require specialized diets and care, and are not suitable pets for most owners.
This parrot was very ill when presented to the clinic on emergency.  Within a day of intensive medical medical care, he was feeling well enough to hang upside down from the top of his incubator to watch what was going on in the hospital.

Hysterectomy:
Hysterectomy in a cockatiel with a retained egg in the uterus.  Notice the patient beneath the clear sterile drape, which allows the anesthetist to monitor the patient.  The green device is a special retractor allowing the surgeon better access to the small celomic cavity.
Iguana :
Intubation of a green iguana in preparation for surgery.  The iguana is sedated, and the endotracheal tube will allow the anesthetist to control level of anesthesia more efficiently.
