✦ About Exotic Pet ER
Emergency & Urgent Care Built for Exotic Pets
Dr. Tino Luehman graduated from the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine in 2014. She is also certified in veterinary acupuncture and brings a uniquely wide academic background to her work, with degrees spanning Psychology, Geography & Environmental Systems, and Biology.
Before veterinary school, Dr. Luehman worked as a veterinary technician and assistant for eleven years, building the hands-on experience that matters most in emergency medicine - especially when patients are fragile, stressed, or declining quickly.
Dr. Luehman chose emergency medicine because she personally experienced how hard it can be to find excellent nighttime and after-hours care for beloved pets - including birds and bunnies. Today, she thrives in emergency settings and is known for calm decision-making, clear communication, and a strong surgical skill set.
Dr. Luehman is a “night owl” by nature and excels in emergency and urgent care. While she has broad emergency experience, Exotic Pet ER is designed to serve exotic families - especially when something feels urgent and you need answers.
Her clinical interests include emergency care for bunnies, birds, and small pocket pets, and she especially enjoys surgery.
She performs a variety of soft tissue surgical procedures and has extensive experience with rabbit and exotic cases including:
Liver lobe torsions
Gastrointestinal blockages
Jaw abscesses in rabbits
And other urgent surgical conditions where timing matters

✦ We Care About Animals
Rescue-friendly and community-connecteds
Outside the clinic, Dr. Luehman works with exotic/small pocket pet and bird rescue groups in the area. She and her husband share their home with foster rabbits and birds, many with chronic medical needs or disabilities - so she understands both the medical and emotional side of caring for fragile animals.
If your exotic pet isn’t eating or seems “off,” don’t wait.
Exotic pets can hide symptoms until they’re serious.
