Exotic Species Care

Dedicated care by species — not a one-size-fits-all approach

Rabbits, birds, reptiles, and small mammals each have unique physiology, common conditions, and husbandry needs. We treat them accordingly — not as dogs and cats in smaller bodies.

Rabbit Veterinary Care

Rabbits are prey animals that hide illness well — by the time symptoms appear, problems are often advanced. We check teeth, gut sounds, weight, and body condition at every visit. We treat GI stasis, dental malocclusion, and uterine conditions, and we strongly recommend spaying females — it removes the risk of uterine cancer entirely.

Bird Veterinary Care

Birds mask illness until they can no longer compensate — a sick bird that looks "a little off" may be critically ill. We see parrots, cockatiels, conures, finches, canaries, and chickens for wellness exams, feather and skin conditions, beak trims, and sick visits. Annual exams are especially important for pet birds.

Reptile & Lizard Care

Reptiles require species-specific husbandry — temperature gradients, UVB lighting, and diet mistakes cause the majority of health problems we see. We see bearded dragons, leopard geckos, ball pythons, corn snakes, tortoises, turtles, and blue-tongue skinks for wellness exams, MBD, respiratory infections, retained shed, and more.

Small Mammal Care

Guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, rats, and ferrets each have distinct health profiles. Guinea pigs need vitamin C and are prone to dental and urinary problems. Hamsters can develop wet tail and diabetes. Chinchillas are sensitive to heat and stress. We tailor exams and treatment to the species — not a generic "small animal" approach.

Senior Pet Care

Your senior pet deserves more than an annual checkup

Senior pets age faster than people realize. A dog over 7, a cat over 10, or a rabbit over 5 can develop kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, dental disease, or joint conditions that are highly manageable — but only if caught early. We recommend twice-yearly wellness visits for senior patients and tailor every exam to what matters most at their life stage.

Senior Wellness

Twice-yearly exams designed around the specific risks of aging pets.

Comprehensive Bloodwork

Kidney function, liver panels, thyroid, CBC — catching changes before symptoms appear.

Senior Dental Care

Dental disease accelerates with age. Professional cleaning reduces systemic health risks.

Pain & Mobility

Arthritis and joint pain management including laser therapy, medications, and lifestyle guidance.
