Diagnosing and treating intoxication in exotic pets can be challenging due to lack of species and toxin knowledge, reporting, and resources by both veterinarians and owners. We performed an American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Poison Control database search from 2021 to 2025 to identify common intoxications reported in exotic animal patients, denoting route of absorption and separated by vertebrate classes, including mammals (excluding dogs and cats), birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish.
