Small Animal Medicine in Corona, CA

Pocket pets, including rabbits, rats, hamsters, and other small animals, have wellness needs that can significantly differ from what standard small-animal care provides. Our specialized small animal medicine brings them the treatment they need to thrive by addressing their specific health concerns.

Understanding Small Animal Medicine

Small animal medicine encompasses a range of health care services tailored specifically for small pocket pets. These animals often have different biological and behavioral characteristics than cats and dogs, which can affect their health. Our focus is on providing preventive care, diagnosis, and treatment for common medical issues that affect small pets.

Common Health Concerns in Small Pets

Small pocket pets may experience health problems such as dental issues, respiratory infections, and gastrointestinal disorders. For example, rabbits require regular dental check-ups, as their teeth grow continuously and can lead to serious problems if not managed properly. Hamsters and rats can also develop conditions related to their habitats or diet, such as obesity and skin disorders. By addressing these concerns with specialized knowledge, we can keep your pocket pets happy and health for life.

When to Schedule an Appointment

Regular veterinary visits are essential for the health and well-being of small pocket pets. We recommend scheduling annual check-ups to monitor your pet’s health and catch any potential issues early. However, if you notice any concerning symptoms, such as changes in eating habits, weight loss, lethargy, or unusual behaviors, you should seek veterinary attention as soon as possible.

Our veterinarian is here to support you in making the best decisions for your small pets. We can provide guidance on nutrition, housing, and general care, helping you create an environment that promotes their health.
