Fauna provides safe, stress-free, sedated oral exams for your unique companion. Anesthesia allows our veterinary surgeons to thoroughly inspect deep, hidden areas of the mouth without causing anxiety or discomfort to your exotic pet.

To see what is happening beneath the gumline, Fauna utilizes advanced digital dental X-rays. This essential diagnostic tool helps identify tooth root infections, jaw issues, and hidden decay before they cause your pet chronic pain.

Jaw infections in exotic pets require swift, advanced intervention. We specialize in treating these complex abscesses, combining thorough surgical cleaning with targeted antibiotic therapies to restore your pet’s long-term health and comfort.

-
Unlike dogs, exotic pets hide pain incredibly well. Look for subtle warning signs like dropping food, excessive drooling, a preference for softer treats, nasal discharge, or sudden weight loss. If you notice any changes, our Lake Forest team can perform a thorough evaluation.em description

At Fauna, safety is our absolute priority. We design individualized, weight-specific anesthetic protocols and utilize advanced monitoring systems. Your pet will wake up safely in our premium Casco Pet temperature-controlled kennels for a smooth, cozy recovery.
-
A rabbit’s mouth is highly sensitive and incredibly small. Attempting to file teeth while they are awake can cause extreme stress, and a sudden movement could lead to severe tissue injury. Sedation ensures the procedure is fast, precise, and completely pain-free.

Yes! Dental pain can quickly cause exotic pets to stop eating, which can lead to life-threatening digestive issues. Fauna prioritizes same-day evaluations for urgent dental and oral issues so your pet receives immediate, compassionate relief when they need it most.
