Your Expert Partner
for Exotic Cases
Does your cat-and-dog clinic occasionally see birds, reptiles, or exotic mammals? We become an extension of your team — providing written, verbal, and virtual consultation support so your patients get specialist-level care without the referral.
Written consultation responses delivered promptly so your patient's care is never delayed.
We integrate seamlessly with your clinic — not a referral away, but a colleague on call.
Clear, structured written consults you can add directly to your patient's medical record.
Live video or phone consultations for real-time surgical and clinical case support.
Your Clinic Sees Dogs & Cats.
Your Patient Is a Parrot|.
It happens more than you'd think — a long-time client walks in with their beloved cockatoo, bearded dragon, or rabbit. You want to give them the best care, but exotic medicine is a specialty of its own.
That's where Wildside comes in. We provide veterinarian-to-veterinarian exotic animal consultations — written, verbal, and virtual — so your team can treat the case confidently while your patient benefits from specialist-level guidance.
We assist with case medical and surgical management, diagnostic and treatment options and interpretation, and help grow your team's exotic medicine capabilities with every case.
How Does It Work?
Simple, fast, and built around your workflow.
Submit Your Case
Send us your case details — history, clinical signs, diagnostics already performed, and any photos, radiographs, lab reports, or videos relevant to the case. You can submit as attachments with your consultation request.
We Review & Consult
Dr. Pardini reviews all submitted materials and prepares a thorough written consultation report with differential diagnoses, recommended diagnostics, treatment options, and prognosis discussion. For advanced cases, a live virtual or phone call is available.
You Treat with Confidence
You receive a clear, structured written report ready to add to your patient's record. You treat your patient using the guidance provided, and can book a follow-up consultation as the case progresses — at a reduced rate.

"We had a bearded dragon come in with a complex metabolic case. I submitted the bloodwork and radiographs and got back a thorough report within the day. The treatment plan was spot-on and the patient recovered fully."
"The advanced consultation with a video call was invaluable when we had a cockatiel requiring emergency surgery. Dr. Pardini walked us through the procedure in real time. This service fills a huge gap in our area."
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I submit a case?
Contact us via the form on our contact page or email us directly at contact@wildsidevet.com. Include your patient's history, clinical signs, and any diagnostic materials you'd like reviewed.
How fast do I get a response?
We aim to deliver written consultation reports as promptly as possible. Turnaround times depend on the complexity of the case and current schedule — contact us and we'll give you a realistic timeframe for your specific case.
Do I need to refer my client to you?
No. This is a vet-to-vet consultation service — your client stays with your clinic. We provide expert guidance behind the scenes, and your patient is treated by your team using our recommendations.
What format is the written report delivered in?
Written reports are delivered by email as a structured document. They include differential diagnoses, recommended diagnostics, treatment plans, and prognosis — formatted to add directly to your patient's medical record.
Can I book an ongoing consulting arrangement?
Yes. If your clinic sees exotic patients regularly, we can discuss a custom arrangement with preferred pricing and priority response. Contact us to explore what works for your practice.
What's the difference between Advanced and Basic consultation?
The Basic consultation is a written report only. The Advanced consultation adds a live phone or video call with Dr. Pardini for real-time discussion — ideal for urgent cases, surgical planning, or when you want direct two-way communication alongside the written report.
Are you available for emergency cases?
We do our best to prioritize urgent submissions. While we are not a primary emergency service, contact us directly and we'll let you know our current availability for time-sensitive cases.
Is there a minimum commitment or subscription required?
No subscription or minimum commitment required. Each consultation is booked individually as needed. Custom payment plans are available for practices with higher case volumes — just ask.
