Can a rabbit recover from a suspected leg fracture in an exotic animal clinic?
In short: Dr. Susan Kelleher, owner of Broward Avian and Exotics Animal Hospital in South Florida, treats a Lionhead Rabbit named Marley. The rabbit was brought in by a worried owner who feared they had accidentally broken the animal's leg, highlighting the specialized care required for non-traditional pets.
Dr. Kelleher operates a busy practice in South Florida with a unique philosophy: she treats any animal that can fit through her clinic doors, excluding only dogs and cats. Her patients range from birds, reptiles, and rabbits to ferrets, fish, marsupials, and primates.
The case of Marley the Lionhead Rabbit serves as an example of the diagnostic challenges faced in exotic animal medicine, where owners often seek urgent care for small, fragile companions following potential accidents.
