Exotic Pet Care

Exotic pets deserve veterinary care as unique as they are. At Companion Animal Clinic, we provide expert care for small mammals and poultry, including rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, rats, mice, chickens, ducks, and turkeys. These species have specialized needs that require a trained eye and a thoughtful approach—and that’s exactly what our team delivers. If you don’t see your pet’s species listed, give us a call and we’re happy to help.

What to Expect During an Exotic Pet Visit

We know that caring for exotic animals often comes with questions. During your visit, we’ll perform a full physical exam and discuss your pet’s environment, nutrition, and behavior. Our goal is to make every visit informative, low-stress, and supportive for both pets and their people.

Exotic Pet Services We Provide

Wellness Care

Routine wellness exams are essential for catching early signs of illness and ensuring your exotic pet’s environment supports their health. We tailor each visit to your pet’s species, reviewing diet, housing, and behavior. For eligible species, we also offer vaccinations to protect against serious disease.

Sick Care

Exotic pets often hide symptoms, making timely care critical when something seems off. If you notice changes in appetite, behavior, droppings, breathing, or activity, we’ll perform a thorough exam and determine the next steps to get your pet back on track.

Diagnostics & Surgery

We offer in-house diagnostics including bloodwork, fecal analysis, and imaging to quickly identify underlying issues. We also offer exotic pet surgical care tailored to the unique needs of exotic pets, with a focus on safety, precision, and recovery.

FAQs

Yes. Even healthy pets benefit from annual exams to detect problems early and ensure their environment and diet are supporting long-term wellness.

Reduced appetite, changes in droppings, lethargy, sneezing, or weight loss may be signs of illness. Many exotic pets hide symptoms, so don’t wait to call.

While we are not an emergency hospital, we do our best to accommodate urgent cases during business hours. Call us as soon as possible if your exotic pet needs immediate attention.
