Expert Veterinary Care for Exotic Pets

Exotic pets require a different level of expertise and equipment than traditional cats and dogs. Our team has the knowledge and tools to ensure your small animal receives the best possible care, from wellness exams to diagnostics and treatment for common illnesses. Our exotic pet services include:

  • Annual wellness exams offer preventative care tailored to your pet’s species and individual needs.
  • Nutritional and habitat guidance help you create the optimal environment for their health and happiness.
  • Illness and injury treatment address common issues like dental disease, respiratory infections, and digestive concerns.
  • Parasite prevention protects your pet from mites, fleas, and other health threats.

Regular veterinary visits can help catch potential health concerns early, ensuring your exotic companion stays happy and healthy with the proper habitat, enrichment, diet, and other husbandry aspects.

Expert Rabbit Care & Specialized Surgical Services

Rabbits hold a special place in our practice, and we have invested in advanced surgical capabilities specifically for their care. Unlike dogs and cats, rabbits have unique anatomical and anesthetic needs, which require specialized techniques and equipment.

Our surgical services for rabbits and other exotic pets include:

  • Spay & Neuter Procedures
  • Abscess Treatment
  • Tumor Excision
  • Dental Care
  • Orthopedic Procedures

We use small animal endotracheal tubes (i.e., breathing tubes) designed specifically for rabbits to ensure safe intubation during surgery. This advanced technology allows us to provide safe, effective anesthesia and pure oxygen for your pet’s procedure while minimizing the risk of structural damage or incomplete sedation.

Dedicated to the Health of Every Pet—Big or Small

Exotic pets deserve the same level of love and medical attention as any dog or cat. Our Milford veterinary team is passionate about providing exceptional care for all creatures, no matter their size. We commonly care for rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, and mice, but our expertise doesn’t stop there. If you have a different exotic pet, reach out to our team—we may be able to help or provide trusted recommendations for specialized care.

Proper husbandry and regular preventive care can help your unique pet thrive, so schedule their wellness visit today!
