What happens when a one-year-old lemur needs surgery?

Step inside Dr. Susan Kelleher’s busy South Florida clinic to witness the specialized care required for exotic species. This video follows Tonga, an energetic young lemur, as she prepares for a spaying procedure.

At Broward Avian and Exotics Animal Hospital, Dr. Susan Kelleher manages a practice dedicated to animals that are not dogs or cats. Her clinical scope is vast, encompassing everything from reptiles and birds to foxes, ferrets, and primates. The footage provides a glimpse into the high-stakes environment of an exotic animal ER, where the variety of patients is limited only by whether they can fit through the clinic door.
