Royal Veterinary College Exotics Service
University level exotics care inside one of the largest veterinary teaching hospitals in Europe. Cases come by referral from British practices and are worked up with the diagnostics a private clinic rarely owns outright, including advanced imaging, alongside specialists, residents and students who review each case as a group rather than alone.
The place to send a rabbit, parrot or lizard whose diagnosis has stalled elsewhere, and a reasonable option for owners who want a second opinion with academic weight behind it. It is not a walk in clinic: a referral from the regular vet is normally required, the Hertfordshire site is a trek from central London, and teaching hospital workups take time. Costs should be discussed and estimated before treatment starts.
