Veterinary Services for Exotic Pets
Our services for exotic pets include the following:
- Routine wellness exams
- Blood work
- Limited surgeries (spay/neuter, growth removal)
- Teeth trimming for rodents
- Humane euthanasia, if necessary
It is also important for us to discuss your exotic pet’s nutritional needs, habitat, climate requirements, and other topics related to their care. While certain exotics may seem easy to care for, they often have more complex needs and are also prone to hiding signs of illness.
Why Annual Exams are Important for Exotic Pets
We strongly recommend bringing in your pet for annual checkups so we can evaluate them from head to tail to make sure they’re staying healthy.
In addition to the physical examination, we may also recommend comprehensive lab work to screen for underlying disease. We will also want to know if you have any health concerns about your pet, and any questions about giving them the healthiest, happiest life at home with you.
If your pet seems unwell, be sure to contact Cheyenne Mountain Animal Hospital right away so we can perform an examination and explore treatment options to restore your pet back to health. Call (719) 475-1314 today to schedule an appointment.
