There are very few veterinarians who are involved with fish health. And the majority of these are employed in a commercial capacity (involved with aquaculture). Their services are often beyond the reach of the local suburban clinic for your much loved pet fish. So this is a ground breaking step forward for both the clients and for the veterinary profession.
FAQs
Report
Fishes, like any other animals, can and do get sick. They may have physical ailments, become sick from a bad environment, or may succumb to infectious diseases caused by parasites and bacteria. I provide a mobile fish veterinary service and I carry a portable laboratory and pharmacy so that I can find out the causes of their illness and give them immediate appropriate treatments.
