| Dr. Gecko strongly recommends that you locate
a qualified reptile veterinarian BEFORE you bring your new
leopard gecko home. You will be grateful that you did
so in the event of an emergency that requires immediate and
qualified veterinary treatment.
Reptile medicine is a very specialized field and not all
veterinarians are qualified to or comfortable with treating
reptiles. Veterinary care for reptiles is very
different from veterinary medicine for other pets such as
cats and dogs.
Your qualified veterinarian can be your best friend and
an ideal partner for ensuring the proper health and care of
your leopard gecko. You should always be able to
contact a veterinarian for any concerns that you might have,
even if they are not emergencies. |
