Most veterinarians are trained to treat cats, dogs, or common livestock. A few may have some education (or experience) with other pets such as rabbits or birds, but there are few that specialize in care for exotic pets. This will be especially true of veterinarians in rural areas, or smaller cities, where the volume of exotic pets will be smaller. Unless the veterinarian themselves owns such animals they simply do not encounter them often enough to be very familiar with care and special needs of some exotic pets.
Treating exotic pets, and unusual livestock, is not as simple as you may think. Some species have allergies to certain medications, or face greater risks from anesthesia. As well certain species have different dietary needs, or risks. For example Guinea Pigs must have Vitamin C added to their diet, but rabbits do not. Sheep cannot have copper, but goats need it.
Anyone interested in keeping an exotic pet, or unusual livestock animal, should first seek out good veterinary services for their pets.

I at one point owned two leopard geckos and a bearded dragon. I definitely was not prepared for their dietary requirements before purchasing them which was a mistake. But I quickly did research an familiarized myself with the intricacies of owning an exotic pet so I completely agree with you, talking with a Vet is a great prerequisite to owning an exotic pet.

Good article. The lack of good information can be a real barrier to anyone prefering more unusual pets. I have looked into keeping small numbers of livestock such as goats, which can also be a good source of milk and meat. The following site is helpful if you need more information goatsaspets.org
