You couldn't ask for a better vet than Dr. Todd, he's freaking awesome.
I noticed Greg the desert tortoise had a soft shell when I picked him up to clean out his habitat. I freaked. It was a Saturday evening and I called around to find somewhere to take him. The 24 hour vet hospital doesn't take exotic animals. I googled his symptoms and his condition sounded grave. I turned to Yelp and found Avian and called first thing Monday morning for an appointment. I was able to be seen the same day. The office visit was only $55. The receptionist and vet tech were super friendly.
Dr. Todd is a wealth of knowledge regarding desert tortoises and I'm sure all other reptiles. He threw so many facts and information at me, my head was spinning but I was happy to listen. He knew the answer to every single one of my questions and he even mentioned that the Arizona Game and Fish Dept. consults him for building desert tortoise habitats.
Greg is on the road to recovery and will be completely well in 4-6 weeks. He needed more sunlight and grass in his diet. Thanks Avian!
