Pocket Pet Medicine and Surgery
We are here to provide your pocket pet with the specialized attention they require. Small mammals are especially adept at concealing any illness. Normally, they wouldn’t want to seem any more vulnerable than they already do as they are considered prey animals in the wild. We do a thorough examination of your pet’s health in order to identify any symptoms of illness. A physical examination sets us on the right path, and we’ll carry out additional medical procedures as necessary and referral to an exotic specialist when needed.
Additionally, we go over the following with you:
- Nutrition and feeding needs
- At-home habitat conditions
- Cleaning and grooming
- Handling and socialization
- Optional spay and neuter for pocket pet care
Common Medical Concerns
There is more to pocket pet care than just one aspect. They require additional care besides the bare necessities of food, water, and shelter. The following frequent medical issues for pets are covered at your session, along with advice on how to prevent them:
- Deficits in vitamins. The issue of vitamin C is significant, but it may be resolved by adding foods high in vitamin C to your pet’s diet.
- Dental problems. Some rodent species, particularly rabbits, have teeth that are constantly growing. A diet deficient in fiber may result in tooth overgrowth and oral pain.
- Rats are particularly susceptible to developing mammary cancers. Even though the majority of mammary tumors in rats are benign, they can be painful and uncomfortable for your small friend.
