In short: Dr. Susan Kelleher, owner of a busy South Florida exotic animal hospital, examines an eight-week-old rescued fox born with only three feet. This segment highlights the unique challenges and medical care required for non-traditional pets and wildlife in a clinical setting.
Dr. Susan Kelleher operates the Broward Avian and Exotics Animal Hospital, where she maintains a policy of treating any animal that can fit through her doors, excluding dogs and cats. Her patients range from birds and reptiles to ferrets, marsupials, and primates.
