Exotic Pet Care at Animal Medical Service in Yakima, WA
Dr. Larson is a true mixed-practice veterinarian who is willing to see most exotic animals, but she is not a dedicated exotic animal veterinarian. Owners should be aware of this when scheduling an exotic pet appointment and understand that additional time, patience, or referral to an exotic animal specialist may sometimes be needed.
