Birds and Exotics

Expert Care for Your Unique Companions

At Lethbridge Pet Hospital, we know that pets come in all shapes, sizes, and species. Whether they have feathers, scales, or fur, your exotic companions deserve the same high standard of medical care as any cat or dog.

We are proud to have Tiva Gorji leading our Birds and Exotics department. Bringing a wealth of international experience to our team, Tiva previously managed a bustling pet hospital in Tehran alongside his partner, Elnaz. Now calling Canada home, Tiva is currently a Restricted DVM as he works toward his full Canadian veterinary registration.

Specialized Focus

Tiva’s true passion lies in the intricate world of avian and exotic medicine. From routine wellness exams to specialized treatments, he is dedicated to delivering high-quality, compassionate care tailored to the specific needs of:

  • Birds (Parrots, canaries, budgies, and more)
  • Small Mammals (Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and ferrets)
  • Reptiles & Amphibians

Why Choose Us for Your Exotic Pets?

Exotic animals are masters at hiding illness. Because their biology is so unique, they require an observant eye and a practitioner who understands their specific environmental and nutritional requirements. Tiva and our team are focused on not just treating illness, but educating clients on how to help their unique pets thrive at home.
