Exotics

Small mammals such as hamsters, gerbils, and rats, as well as rabbits, have distinct health needs that require specialized care. At Whisker & Woof, we provide comprehensive veterinary services for these animals, including:

• Preventative Care: Routine wellness exams, vaccinations, and parasite control to maintain optimal health.
• Dental Care: Addressing common dental problems, such as overgrown teeth, which are particularly important for rabbits and guinea pigs.
• Surgical Services: Performing necessary procedures, including spaying, neutering, and treatment of common health conditions.
• Behavioural Advice: Offering guidance on behavioural issues and helping ensure your small mammal or rabbit lives a happy and healthy life.

Our team is dedicated to ensuring that each of these small animals receives individualised care in a gentle, stress-free environment.

We also offer care for small bird species, such as finches, canaries, and budgerigars. These birds have specific needs when it comes to diet, health, and behaviour, and we provide the following services:

• Health Check-ups: Regular examinations to monitor overall health and detect common issues such as respiratory problems or feather-plucking.
• Avian Diagnostics: Blood work, radiographs, and fecael testing to diagnose illnesses, infections, and nutritional imbalances.
• Nutritional Guidance: Offering advice on species-specific diets and feeding strategies to prevent deficiencies and promote longevity.

We are committed to maintaining the health and happiness of your feathered friends, ensuring they thrive in their environment.

We recognise that reptiles, large birds, and fish have highly specialized care needs that require expertise beyond our general practice. These animals benefit from veterinary specialists with advanced knowledge in their unique care requirements, including specific environmental conditions, diets, and health concerns.

For reptiles, such as tortoises, lizards, and snakes, as well as large birds, including macaws, cockatoos, and other exotic species, and fish, we strongly advise seeking care from veterinarians who specialise in these areas. These species require specific environmental assessments, advanced diagnostics, and treatments that are best provided by experts trained in exotic animal care.

At Whisker & Woof, we are happy to guide you to trusted veterinary specialists who can offer the comprehensive care your exotic pets need. We believe in ensuring that all animals—whether small mammals, birds, or more exotic species—receive the very best care, and we will help connect you to the right resources for your pet.
