Hospitalisation

Your vet may need to hospitalise your lizard either for a short period of a day or two whilst investigations are underway or for longer periods whilst treatment is undertaken.

We have a designated exotics room (our ‘hot ward’) which contains facilities to optimise your lizard’s environment, providing the conditions essential to recovery.

As with all reptiles, lizards are ectothermic, or cold- blooded, relying entirely on environmental conditions and warmth to drive their metabolism.

Correct environment is the most influential factor in raising a healthy happy reptile.

Whilst in hospital your lizard and it’s environment are frequently monitored and treatments are provided by our team of British and Australian qualified veterinary staff.

We carry a large selection of food items. If however your pet has unusual dietary preferences that your vet still sees as suitable, you may be asked to bring some in for the duration of its stay.
