Veterinary Services for Exotic Animals
“Every BUNNY is welcome here!”
We don’t just take care of dogs and cats! Some of our patients have feathers, others have fluffy tails, and furthermore, some have scales!
Though we are not fully equipped to be classified as an exotic species hospital, we are equipped enough to provide basic primary animal health care for certain exotic species, such as bunnies, guinea pigs, rats, birds, and the occasional reptile. We are also more than happy to help provide emergency care for injured wildlife species as required until they can be referred to the correct rehabilitation facility. We will do what we can with what we have, and though we are not specialists in the field, we will do our best to find out the correct course of treatment and assist you to the best of our abilities if referral to an exotic centre is not a possibility for you.
