PawVerse ExoticExotic pet vet consultations in India

Happy exotic pets start with vets who know them.

Video consultations for guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits and other small pets, birds and reptiles. Captain Scout asks what your animal is and connects you only to a vet who treats that kind of animal. If no such vet is on PawVerse yet, Scout tells you before you pay.

Who we see

Find your animal: guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, birds and reptiles

Choose yours and Captain Scout starts the conversation already knowing what it is.

How it works

How an online exotic vet consultation works

  1. 1 of 4

    Scout asks what you have

    Choose the kind of animal or type it in your own words, in English or Hindi. Scout keeps the details so you never repeat yourself.

  2. 2 of 4

    You tell it what you have noticed

    When it started, what it eats, how its cage or tank is set up. Photos and a short video help your vet the most.

  3. 3 of 4

    Scout checks for a vet who treats it

    Your consultation goes only to vets who treat that kind of animal. If none is on PawVerse yet, Scout says so before you pay and takes your number so we can call you.

  4. 4 of 4

    A video call, then a written plan

    Your vet looks at your pet with you, then sends care notes and, when it is safe, a prescription. If your pet needs a clinic, they tell you plainly.

Before the call

Before your exotic vet video call

Your vet cannot touch your pet, so what you show and tell matters more than at a clinic.

Have ready

  • What kind of animal it is, its age, and whether it is male or female, if you know
  • A short video of your pet moving and breathing
  • Photos of its cage or tank, and where it is kept in your home
  • What it eats, when it last ate, and when it last pooped
  • Anything that changed recently, like new food, a new pet, moving home or a cold night

Check at home

  • Guinea pigs cannot make vitamin C, so they need it every day from fresh vegetables.
  • They need hay all day. It keeps the gut moving and the teeth worn down.
  • A guinea pig that has stopped eating or pooping needs a vet today.

What a video call can and cannot do

  • Look at your pet on video and in photos
  • Advise on food, warmth, light and the cage or tank
  • Prescribe medicine when it is safe to do so
  • Touch your pet or take its temperature
  • Listen to its chest, or do blood tests, X-rays or scans
  • Do surgery or tests that need a clinic

If your pet needs to see a vet in person, we tell you clearly. That is a good outcome, not a failed one.

Wildlife

Found an injured wild animal or bird in India?

Keep it safe, then call the experts. Wild animals are not pets, and the law protects most of them.

  1. Stay back.

    Do not try to catch a snake or a monkey. Keep children and pets away, and watch where the animal goes.

  2. Call your state Forest Department or a wildlife rescue group.

    They are allowed by law to catch, move and care for wild animals.

  3. Keep a hurt bird calm.

    Put it in a cardboard box with air holes, in a quiet, dark and warm place. Do not force it to eat or drink.

  4. Call or email us while you wait.

    Our vets can tell you what first aid to give until the rescuers arrive.
