- Veterinarian of exotic pets in Málaga
ARACAVIA Exotic Animal Veterinary Clinic is a unique and pioneering project in Andalusia, created to provide veterinary care for companion animals other than dogs and cats. We specialise in exotic animals, including rabbits and other small mammals, ferrets, birds and reptiles. Dogs and cats are not treated at our clinic, which means that our patients—many of whom are prey species in the wild—can enjoy a much calmer and less stressful environment than they would in a clinic where they could hear dogs barking.
Veterinarian for lovebirds, budgerigars, cockatiels, African greys, macaws, canaries, birds of prey, etc.
Veterinarian for rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, chinchillas, etc.
Veterinarian for snakes, turtles, tortoises and lizards.
Radiography is an essential diagnostic technique for reaching certain diagnoses. In rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas, we perform dental radiographic studies to detect dental disease as early as possible.
In small birds, we also frequently use barium contrast studies to better identify anatomical abnormalities.
In tortoises and other animals that are difficult to handle, radiography provides valuable and rapid information to help reach a diagnosis.
We use digital radiography equipment to achieve higher image resolution and faster workflow.
Our equipment includes:
We have a high-end ultrasound system—the Aplio i800—equipped with state-of-the-art probes designed for very small animals. This cutting-edge equipment allows us to perform procedures as precise as a cardiac ultrasound on a canary.

We have a high-quality microscope that allows us to examine every detail when performing faecal examinations, blood smear examinations, cytology, and other diagnostic procedures. For cytological examinations, we have several staining kits that allow us to obtain the best possible results from swabs, impression smears and other samples.
With the Abaxis VetScan VS2 and the MNCHIP Point Care V, we can perform biochemical analyses in birds, mammals and reptiles using as little as 0.1 mL of whole blood. This enables us to obtain important renal and hepatic markers, as well as other biochemical parameters such as electrolytes, in patients ranging from small birds and reptiles to rabbits and ferrets.
We also have a 5-part differential haematology analyser, the DYMIND DF50, for evaluating blood cell populations and detecting infections, anaemia and other haematological abnormalities.
We have two rooms equipped with anesthesia and monitoring systems. We also offer endoscopy, rabbit teeth filing, dental cleanings, etc.
Exotic animals have special requirements for hospitalization and care. We have several hospitalization wards designed to meet the specific needs of the various species we treat.
The goal is functional rather than aesthetic. Rabbits frequently develop mats that irritate the skin and promote infections. We also perform this procedure on rabbits prone to digestive issues caused by excess fur or to urine scald.
If you haven’t yet acquired a pet, we recommend responsible adoption. There are many exotic pets—not just dogs—that, for various reasons, have lost the families that cared for them and are in need of a new home. You can ask us or search online for organizations that facilitate this.
