Struggling to find a vet to see your frog or axolotl? Well look no further – we are here to help. The Unusual Pet Vets are an experienced team of veterinarians that provide advanced care for all sorts of amphibians.
Our most common amphibian patients are native frogs and axolotls, however we also help out different zoo institutions giving us the opportunity to work with many different species.
Amphibians can be challenging to care for and one of our most important roles is working with you to get your cage set up right so that potential problems are avoided. However even with the best set up available problems still do occur.
We are experienced in dealing with the range of health issues that amphibians get, and whether it be a lump on your axolotl, or diarrhoea in your frog, we can help.
Regardless of their size, your amphibian deserves the best care possible.
A slippery situation!
Axel is a 13 week old axolotl, he was feeling curious when hed decided to taste his aquarium rocks. Unfortunately, the brightly coloured stones were too big for him to pass naturally so Dr Kelly and Dr Linda had to give him a helping hand. They managed to gently massage the stones back out of his mouth and he went home much happier although a little lighter.
Very nice and informative service. Lovely vet practice, will definitely recommend to others.
Wonderful and knowledgable vet. Took time to thoroughly check over my rabbit and answer all the questions I had. Would recommend to other rabbit owners.
Highly recommend, caring and compassionate no matter how small your pet. Thank you to the unusual pet vets for treating our very sick little mouse Moon, she came back to full health and is now enjoying life in a new home with new cage mates.
Cannot speak highly enough of the caring and lovely staff at UPV Osborne Park. Particularly to Dr Kelly for the wonderful treatment and compassion she displayed caring for my much loved
Bugz. Definitely recommend this practice. Simply the Best.
It’s a great vet for exotic pets, we would like to thank Dr Kiara and the nurses for all the help they have done for the bunnies especially when they have been unwell.
Gretel – Thankyou for all the tips and advice on what and what not to do with the bunnies.
We will definitely be recommending to all our exotic animal friends.
Fantastic vets! Staff are so helpful and friendly. Vet’s are brilliant, they show so much love and compassion to our animals. 5 stars all the way!!
I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to the gang at Murdoch who helped my family and stimmy Cindy. It was a very stressful time and they assisted us with ease! Pricing was also more than reasonable which we were very grateful for. Thank you guys again, my noodle is now on the mend all to you guys.
Excellent service, caring and professional advice, and very good handling for our pet bird, on our first visit today at The Unusual Pet Vets, Jindalee. Very helpful, and they also provided further reading for us via email after our appointment regarding a few things we asked about. All staff were lovely and friendly – from the initial phone booking (you can do internet bookings too) to and including the consult. Thank you very much – we’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend.
Received the best service from Dr Sasha at the Sunshine Coast clinic. She taught me so much in such a kind manner and was very gentle to my Guinea pig. She then followed up by emailing further information on Guinea pig general care. Highly recommend!
Amazing and caring staff at the Ferntree Gully Clinic. Our baby rat was not well, and they always made time to help and support her. Very knowledgeable and compassionate. Would highly recommend and absolutely will use again. Thank you to everyone at Ferntree Gully for being there for us and Tabby.

We’ve put together a collection of amphibian care and information sheets to help you feed amphibians properly, identify diseases that often occur, and how to generally care for your beloved pet.
An essential part of keeping Australian tree frogs is understanding their dietary, husbandry and health requirements. Learn how to properly keep these wonderful pets from our expert team.
Bloat is a common issue seen in axolotls. There are a number of causes including infection (such as bacteria or mycobacteria), foreign body ingestion, intestinal parasitism, inappropriate temperature, gas entrapment, and cancer.
