The Chicago Exotics Animal Hospital in Skokie, IL will take care of our sick chickens

Exotic pets like rabbits, ferrets, reptiles, birds, fish, hedgehogs, and guinea pigs have special care needs and Chicago Exotics specializes in meeting those needs. We operate a full service avian and exotic animal hospital featuring Dr. Susan Horton, Dr. Mary Grabowski, Dr. Katy Parr and Dr. Deanne Strat. Their extensive knowledge and expertise with exotic species combines the best of personal and clinical experience.   Our location is in Skokie, Illinois.  We provide service for the entire Chicago area as well as Southern Wisconsin and Western Indiana.

Our hospital has the capability of serving all sorts of animals from the smallest fish to the largest reptiles.  Our warm exotic ICU features avian incubators, reptilian incubators (aquatic and not), fish and amphibian ICU tanks, avian nebulizer unit, and inline oxygen for all cages.  Outside the warm room, we have comfortable cages for all the soft fuzzy and not so fuzzy mammals and marsupials.  We are especially bird friendly! Our in house diagnostic capability includes full blood and chemistry work, cytology, radiology, endoscopy, ultrasound, and surgery.  We offer the opportunity for unique species to receive competent and compassionate veterinary care.  Cases are seen by appointment, but emergency patients are gladly accepted as the need arises.
