An Exotic Animal veterinarian is a veterinarian who has undertaken additional training to treat exotic animals. Many exotic animals such as ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, small rodents, etc. are very different in anatomy and physiology to dogs and cats, and to specialize in their treatment, a veterinary student must seek out coursework and residencies that are beyond the scope of standard veterinary school .
Exotic veterinarians are certified by the Association of Exotic Mammal Veterinarians .
