Dr. Nielsen Donato: Exotic Pet Vet
Most animal clinics are full of fluffy dogs and slinky cats, maybe a few birds. But throw in a python, a turtle, and several other exotic pets, and that would be an average day for Dr. Nielsen Donato.
Doctor to Wildlife
Donato is no ordinary veterinarian. He is a wildlife veterinarian, and exotic pet owners, hobbyists, and zookeepers seek him out so he can treat their unusual creatures.
