Rabbits & Pocket Pets
Have a rabbit, guinea pig, hamster, rat, gerbil, or other small mammal in need of some TLC? Our team is here and ready to help!
We recommend an annual wellness exam to be sure your pocket pet is healthy, and these exams give us a baseline for future reference in the event your pet ever falls ill. Annual exams also give you time with Dr. Harrison so we can answer all your health, behavior, environment, and nutrition questions.
Bringing Your Small Pet to the Vet
We recognize that coming to the vet can be a stressful experience for any pet, particularly our small ones. Our staff and Dr. Harrison are very sensitive to this fact and do whatever we can to limit this stress.
Your pet may be more relaxed if brought in its regular enclosure if possible. It is also best not to clean the enclosure prior to bringing your pet in. This will allow your pet to be surrounded by familiar, comfortable smells, and will also retain samples for diagnostic testing if needed to better evaluate your pet.
Our pocket pet wellness exams cover:
- Complete physical examination, including oral exam
- Weight checks
- Fecal exam
- Parasite prevention if needed
- In-house pharmacy with medications and supplements
- Nutritional counseling tailored to the needs of your pet
- Behavioral counseling
- Environmental enrichment counseling
