TEAV Ltd trading as The Exotic Animal Vets – Vets in Manchester

Updated January 2026

Clinic Overview

TEAV Ltd (trading as The Exotic Animal Vets) is a specialist-led exotics practice. The clinic’s website states it is led by an RCVS Recognised Specialist (Molly). Reviews repeatedly describe complex exotic cases being managed in-house (for example hamster bladder-stone surgery and an axolotl emergency), alongside routine care like nail clips and health checks for birds.

Owners also mention practical, case-specific support: one reviewer says Dr. Molly had them film the medication process during an axolotl emergency to make sure home treatment was done correctly. Multiple reviews describe unhurried appointments and time given for difficult decisions, including calm, supported euthanasia (PTS). One reviewer reports a missed call-back at a busy time, which they were told was due to unexpected emergency admissions.

Services

  • Exotics-focused veterinary care (practice specialty stated on the clinic website).
  • Digital veterinary support 24/7 via a partnership with VidiVet (as stated on the website).
  • Species and cases specifically mentioned in reviews/website include
  • Rabbits and small mammals (rabbits, guinea pig, hamster, rodents).
  • Reptiles/amphibians (panther chameleon, axolotl).
  • Birds (cockatiel; the website also mentions zebra finches).
  • Other exotics mentioned in reviews: raccoon dog.
  • Examples of care described by owners
  • Surgery: removal of a bladder stone in a hamster after medication didn’t resolve the issue.
  • Emergency support: help through an axolotl emergency, including coaching on medication administration.
  • Routine procedures: nail clip and health check for a cockatiel.
  • End-of-life care (PTS/euthanasia): several owners describe calm, unrushed appointments and support through the process.
  • Inpatient admission is referenced in reviews (pets “admitted for treatment”), with owners noting the impact on staff availability for call-backs.

People

  • Molly (Dr. Molly): Named in multiple reviews; owners describe her as very knowledgeable with exotics. One owner specifically notes she had them record the medication process so they could confidently treat their axolotl at home. Another review credits her with recommending and performing hamster bladder-stone surgery when medication was not enough.
  • Craig: Mentioned repeatedly, especially by rabbit owners. Owners say they feel reassured when rabbits are admitted and “with Craig,” and describe him as friendly and genuinely caring (including during a guinea pig’s end-of-life care).
  • Debbie (reception): Mentioned as welcoming.
  • Charlie: Mentioned by one reviewer (name not fully certain in the review) as providing calm, unrushed support during a guinea pig’s euthanasia appointment.
