Dr Sheryl Calway Karen Antrobus RVN
The department is led by Veterinary Surgeon and Clinical Director, Sheryl Calway, who holds her GP Certificate in Exotic Animal Medicine and Surgery (GpCert ExAP) and who is also a registered poultry vet.
Species routinely examined include: -
From the smallest finch to the magnificent Macaw, we provide in-depth health checks, investigations and treatments.
Early referral is important to ensure best outcome in many cases. In addition, longer appointments can be arranged to tackle more chronic and complicated problems.
As captive environment so often plays a part in health and disease progression, appointments can be arranged to discuss husbandry, including provision of suitable nutrition, supplementation and UV light.
With poultry becoming more and more popularly kept as pets, we are happy to offer comprehensive advice, medicine or surgery tailored to their needs.
We love the variety of small mammals we get to meet here at Oakmount!
Our staff are passionate about ensuring we stay up-to-date with best practice advice on providing suitable captive environments for commonly kept mammals.
Whether our patient is a rabbit, rodent, marsupial or mustelid, our dedicated ‘prey’ and ‘predator’ wards ensure stress minimisation while hospitalised with us and round the clock care is provided by our highly skilled nursing team.
Appointments are offered to advise on how best to provide appropriate husbandry and nutrition for whichever species you are keeping.
Our dedicated reptile ward provides a wide variety of vivariums to enable hospitalisation of any species.
Wildlife is also accepted during routine opening hours. Treatment or surgery, where appropriate, is carried out on-site. Patients unsuitable for early release are transported to the RSPCA’s wildlife rehabilitation centre.
