Surgery for Exotic Animals

Exotic pets require a unique approach to veterinary care, especially when it comes to surgery. From anatomical differences to specialized anesthesia and handling needs, these patients deserve a careful, experienced hand. At Knox Veterinary Surgery, we bring advanced surgical options for exotic species directly to your hospital, giving your team the ability to offer quality care without the stress of outside referral.

With over two decades of experience in soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, including small mammal and reptile cases, we support general practices in and around Knoxville, TN with mobile surgical services tailored to exotic patients.
