Butterfly with a wing fracture. Venomous snakes rescued by the wildlife department. Dwarf caimans are kept as illegal pets. These aren't scenes from a wildlife documentary. They are real cases from the career of Dr. Tittu Abraham, and the Wildlifebuzz community got to hear all about them first-hand.
Wildlifebuzz launched its very first Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on its Wildlife Veterinary Network platform, and honestly, they could not have picked a better person to kick it off.
Dr. Tittu Abraham, Avian and Exotic Pet specialist and Director of BirdinEx Avian and Exotic Pet Speciality Hospital, is the kind of vet who has seen things most of us can't even imagine. Birds masking illness until they are barely holding on.
Reptiles brought in by people who had no idea what they were getting into. Fish medicine, orthopedic surgeries on exotic animals, and cases that required thinking completely outside the box. He's done it all, and for one session, he opened up the floor.
The community did not hold back. Veterinary students asked how to carve a path into avian specialization. A zookeeper from Tiergarten Worms, Germany, wanted to know the most dangerous animal he'd ever worked with. A wildlife researcher asked about the challenges of caring for exotic and avian pets.
Wildlifebuzz's Founder and CEO, Ravi Kumar Sapata, jumped in to ask what it truly takes for someone to be ready to own an exotic pet. 19 comments, question after question, and Dr. Abraham answered every single one with honesty, depth, and the kind of clarity that only comes from years of real experience.
He didn't sugar-coat anything either. Diagnosis, he said, is the biggest challenge, not just for him but also for veterinarians across the board. Exotic and avian patients are fragile, highly stressed, and experts at hiding how sick they actually are. By the time they're brought in, they're often already critical.
Add to that the near-complete absence of haematological data for many species, rising antibiotic resistance, and the sheer unpredictability of working with animals most vets never encounter, and you start to understand just how demanding this field really is.
And yet, Dr. Abraham shows up for it every single day. The fact that he took time out of his schedule to sit with a community of wildlife lovers and answer their questions genuinely, thoughtfully, and without rushing, says everything about who he is as a professional and as a person.
This is exactly what Wildlifebuzz is built for__A platform where wildlife professionals, researchers, zookeepers, students, and enthusiasts don't just scroll but actually connect, learn, and have conversations that matter. For a first AMA, this one set an incredibly high bar.
