Birds, ferrets, bunnies and reptiles get their checkups at Manhattan's Center for Avian and Exotic Medicine. The hospital doesn't see venemous snakes or large farm animals; however, the cases are unique. The veterinarians recently performed plastic surgery on a goldfish whose ornamental wen had grown over its eyes preventing it from seeing (and thus, eating) its food. We visited the hospital to learn how caring for a bird, a rodent or a reptile differs from caring for a dog or cat.
