Small Mammals We Welcome
Every species has its own quirks, health tendencies, and communication style. Our veterinarians have extensive experience with:
-
Rabbits
-
Guinea pigs
-
Hamsters
-
Gerbils
-
Mice
-
Rats
We see these pets most often for wellness care, nutrition guidance, and husbandry support, though we also evaluate and treat minor illnesses. For more advanced or species-specific conditions, we work closely with trusted referral partners to ensure your pet gets the best care possible.
How We Care for Your Small Mammal's Health
Small mammals are experts at hiding signs of illness, often until a condition has progressed further than expected. Routine veterinary care is the single best way to stay ahead of common medical problems and help your small pet live a longer, healthier life.
A typical wellness visit may include:
Complete Physical Exam
Because small mammals age quickly, each exam is tailored to their species, age, and lifestyle. We check teeth, skin, coat, eyes, ears, nails, weight, heart, lungs, and overall comfort.
Nutrition & Husbandry Counseling
Most health issues in small mammals stem from improper diet or housing. We’ll walk you through species-specific nutrition, enrichment, safe bedding, enclosure setup, and handling tips.
Illness Evaluation
If your pet is showing signs of illness, such as a reduced appetite, decreased activity, respiratory changes, or dental issues, we can perform diagnostics, recommend treatment options, or refer to a specialist if needed.
Nail Trims & Grooming Guidance
Some species need regular nail maintenance or coat care. We’re happy to help or teach you how to safely do it at home.
