At the Avian and Exotic Pet Service at Carolina Veterinary Specialists, we strive to provide the highest level of medical and surgical care for birds and other unusual pets. We service the greater Charlotte, North Carolina region, but many clients travel much further to us for veterinary care. We offer basic and preventative care services, as well as advanced diagnostic and treatment options such as on-site diagnostic ultrasound, on-site computed tomography (CAT scan), on-site (Matthews) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radiation oncology services (linear accelerator at our Matthews location), chemotherapy, endoscopy, 24-hour hospitalization, after-hours emergency services, and much more. We have a dedicated hospital ward and a dedicated technician for the care and treatment of exotic pets.We also strive to advance the field of avian and exotic pet medicine by hosting veterinary students and training our in-house veterinary interns that rotate through the service. We have also hosted a 12-month exotics specialty internship since 2020 and recently graduated our fourth exotics intern. We conduct prospective research projects and have been involved in clinical drug trials for exotic pets for the development of new treatments for these unique species. We service the community by presenting seminars and workshops for the public and by having a presence at local animal oriented events.Avian and Exotic Pet Service Hours: Monday through Friday (excluding Thursdays) 8:00 am to 5:00 pmAfter-hours emergencies until 10:00 pm (after that, available to CVS emergency staff veterinarians for phone consultations)Please call (704) 949-1100 for availability and to schedule an appointment
