Fife Exotic Vets

Fife Exotic Vets describes itself as a family-run practice focused on exotic and zoological species, offering both routine care and advanced workups (including in-house lab support and imaging such as X‑ray and ultrasound). The clinic appears set up for complex exotics cases as well as accessible advice-led consults: reviews mention life-saving emergency treatment out of hours for an African grey, surgery for a guinea pig with an obstructing urethral stone followed by very detailed discharge instructions, and husbandry-focused health checks (e.g., reviewing a leopard gecko’s enclosure to improve care). Telemedicine is also used in practice; one rescue describes an online consultation that produced a thorough treatment plan for an avian flock.
