Feathers and Fur Animal Hospital in La Mesa, Fear Free-certified and holding the American Association of Feline Practitioners' gold-standard feline-practice designation, treats dogs, cats, birds, and small exotic mammals from 7750 University Avenue. The practice acquired the Eastridge Animal Hospital site — a legacy veterinary location originally built in 1970 — in early 2023, joining a University Avenue animal-care corridor that includes general-practice referral partners like Rancho Village Veterinary Hospital. Avian medicine is a core specialty: the clinical team trained under a world-recognized avian specialist and provides diagnostic workup, beak-and-feather-disease testing, and wellness protocols for parrots, cockatiels, and other companion birds. The hospital operates as a women-owned, Asian-owned, and LGBTQ+-owned practice with a transgender-safespace designation — one of the few veterinary facilities in East County San Diego carrying that formal recognition. Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine and acupuncture — studied at Chi University in Florida — supplement conventional diagnostics, creating a dual Eastern-Western treatment framework for chronic pain and geriatric-care cases alongside the species-specific nutrition products stocked by retailers like IB Pet Rancho San Diego. The hospital performs avian endoscopy, crop lavage, and DNA sexing alongside standard canine and feline soft-tissue surgical procedures under species-appropriate anesthetic protocols.
