Hospitalisation

Here at Tai Wai Small Animal and Exotics Hospital we are committed to providing the highest level of care for your terrapin and therefore we have a specially designed ‘Hot Ward’ in order to hospitalize your terrapin and other reptiles under the best condition.

If your terrapin requires special care, for example so we can provide close monitoring before and after surgery, or to provide fluids or food support when they are ill, then our vet may recommend your pet staying in hospital.

In our hospital in the past we have comfortably hospitalized large adult 12 kg Giant Asian Pond Turtles (Heosemys grandis) down to 5 gram hatchling Red-Eared Sliders (Trachemys scripta).

In our ‘Hot Ward’ we have a variety of cages, tanks and spas as well as all the necessary additional equipment, in order for us to provide the ideal environment to support your terrapin’s recovery.
