Protecting the health of unique reptiles

Professional Reptile Veterinary Services

Reptiles are highly sensitive to temperature gradients, humidity, UVB exposure, nutrition, and stress. Many illnesses start with subtle appetite or activity changes. Correct husbandry plus regular checks are key to preventing metabolic and infectious disease.
  • CITYVET Professional Veterinary Services Support:
  • Systematic Diagnostics: Husbandry and nutrition review supported by lab testing and imaging to identify root causes and guide care.
  • Comprehensive Management: Actionable guidance on temperature-humidity, UVB, photoperiod, diet structure, and habitat safety.

Does your reptile have any of these symptoms?

Reptiles often hide discomfort and reduce activity to avoid appearing vulnerable. When the following obvious signs appear, the condition has often been developing for some time.
  • Not eating, reduced appetite, weight loss: may relate to temperature, stress, or illness
  • Open-mouth breathing, noisy breathing, nasal discharge: may relate to respiratory infection
  • Swollen eyes, inflamed mouth, drooling: may relate to stomatitis/infection
  • Incomplete shedding, cracked/dark skin areas: may relate to humidity or skin issues
  • Diarrhea, abnormal stool, suspected parasites: testing is recommended
  • Weakness, tremors, bone changes: may relate to metabolic issues
  • Regurgitation (snakes) or abdominal swelling: may relate to GI problems or obstruction
  • Trauma, lumps, vent abnormalities: early evaluation is recommended

If you notice any of the above symptoms, please consult a veterinarian immediately:

Common Diseases in Reptiles

Understanding common reptiles diseases helps owners recognize abnormalities early and improve husbandry and daily care.

Metabolic Bone Disease & Nutritional Imbalance

Insufficient UVB or calcium-phosphorus imbalance can cause weakness, tremors, and bone deformities. Husbandry review plus imaging/lab assessment supports a correction and recovery plan.

Respiratory Infection

Low temperature, poor ventilation, and stress can increase infection risk. Open-mouth breathing or noisy breathing warrants early evaluation, supportive care, and environment adjustment.

Oral Problems

Inflamed mouth tissue and appetite loss may be related to oral infection. We provide oral assessment and husbandry guidance to improve hygiene and environmental parameters.

Parasites & Gastrointestinal Problems

Abnormal stool, weight loss, or regurgitation may relate to parasites or GI issues. Fecal testing and husbandry recommendations help reduce relapse risk.

Veterinary Examination & Treatment Support

Consultations combine history, husbandry conditions, physical examination, and any necessary lab tests and imaging to identify causes and provide treatment and nursing care.
