Small mammals or what some people like to call “pocket pets” can be considered great house pets for you. These animals are great for first time pet owners, require little space and typically has lower maintenance and costs. Some pocket pets that Dr. England and Dr. Harrell see are:
Hamsters
Gerbils
Mice
Rats
Guinea pigs
Rabbits
Ferrets
and more
First examinations are crucial to document and monitor throughout their life stages. Our veterinarians, Dr. Harrall and Dr. England, are passionate and experienced with small mammals and highly recommend an exam to discuss:
health risks
how to hold and handle with care
feeding, diet and nutritional needs
best habitat/environment
and more
Our veterinarians will also go through a physical examination to discuss your small mammal’s overall health and if there are early detections of diseases. Blood samples or further additional testing may be required to provide a more accurate health assessment of your small mammal.
