How do you care for animals such as rabbits, rodents, birds and reptiles? Among other things, we recommend making an appointment for a routine checkup at least once a year. This is for the purpose of general preventive care, but also allows your veterinarian to familiarize himself with your pet so she can more easily identify when your pet is unhealthy. Annual exams should include weighing your pet; checking eyes, ears, and teeth; listening to the heart and lungs, and examining your pet for any internal or external lumps or abnormalities. You should also discuss any questions regarding behavior, diet, parasite control, or other issues with your veterinarian at this time.
We can provide you with information on the care and feeding of your newest furry (or not) friend and some of our doctors have a special interest in small animals in the “other” category. We have many resources to help you make sure that the newest addition to your family stays happy and healthy.
