These interesting and entertaining creatures are frequently presented to veterinarians for nutrition related problems. We strongly advise you set up a nutritional consultation with our veterinarians to discuss how you may best avoid these problems.

Ferrets
Your ferret should be
examined yearly by a
veterinarian. A stool
sample for parasite check
should be submitted at
the same time as the yearly
check up. Vaccines are available for ferrets and can be discussed during your visit. Common problems associated with ferrets include gastrointestinal disease (diarrhea), parasites and cancer. Ferrets are inquisitive creatures by nature and frequently ingest objects they shouldn't. Any loss of appetite or abnormal behaviour should alert you to a potential problem and the need for veterinary consultation.

Pocket Pets
These furry friends require veterinary attention too! You should seek veterinary care if your pet stops eating, appears quieter than normal, exhibits discharge from the eyes or nose, and/or develops a lump on its body. Teeth grow continuously in these small animals and often require attention.

Other Exotics
We provide medical assessments and surgical procedures for a variety of other exotic animals including mice, rats, chinchillas, pot-bellied pigs and hedgehogs. We see many diseases related to improper nutrition in these animals. Please talk to us about how to properly feed your pet as most of these diseases can be prevented with a fundamental knowledge of their nutritional requirements. We also supply a wide range of foods and supplements for these unique creatures.
