Abstract

Cutaneous lesions in exotic pets can indicate an underlying systemic disorder, necessitating thorough integumentary and internal assessments tailored to each species. Recognizing diverse presentations across amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals is vital for accurate diagnosis. Optimal care requires individualized husbandry adjustments alongside medical interventions and comprehensive client education to ensure timely management, prevent recurrence, and address potential zoonotic risks.
