Dedicated Health Services for Small Mammals

We offer expert veterinary care for rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters, focusing on their specific health needs with tailored treatments and preventive measures.

Specialized Services for Rabbits

Rabbits are popular pets known for their playful nature and strong personalities, but they require specialized care to stay healthy. At Wisconsin Valley Veterinary Service, we offer services tailored to the needs of rabbits, including dental care, spaying and neutering, and dietary counseling. Rabbits are prone to dental issues, as their teeth grow continuously throughout their lives. Our dental services focus on preventing and treating conditions like overgrown teeth, which can lead to pain and difficulty eating.

Spaying and neutering are also important for rabbits, as they help prevent certain health issues and behavioral problems. Our veterinarian is skilled in performing these procedures with the utmost care and precision, ensuring a safe and smooth recovery for your pet.

Caring for Guinea Pigs

Guinea pigs are social and vocal creatures that thrive with proper care and attention. Like rabbits, they have specific dietary and housing needs that must be met to maintain their health. Our veterinary team provides comprehensive care for guinea pigs, including nutritional counseling, dental care, and treatment for common health issues such as respiratory infections and scurvy, a condition caused by a deficiency in vitamin C.

Regular health checks are vital for guinea pigs, as they are prone to developing issues like dental malocclusion and bladder stones. During these exams, we evaluate your guinea pig’s teeth, weight, and overall health to catch any problems early and provide the necessary treatment.

Health Services for Hamsters

Hamsters are small, active pets that require a different approach to care than larger mammals. Their small size makes them particularly vulnerable to health issues, so regular veterinary visits are essential. At Wisconsin Valley Veterinary Service, we offer a range of services for hamsters, including physical exams, nutritional advice, and treatment for common ailments like a wet tail and a serious digestive condition.

Our veterinarian is experienced in handling and treating hamsters with care and precision. We also guide proper housing, diet, and enrichment to ensure your hamster remains healthy and happy.

The Importance of Preventative Care

Preventative care is a cornerstone of our approach to caring for other small mammals in Wausau, WI. By focusing on prevention, we can help your pet avoid many common health problems and ensure they live a long, healthy life. This includes offering vaccinations, parasite prevention, and regular wellness exams to keep your pet in the best possible health.

At Wisconsin Valley Veterinary Service, we understand that your small mammal is a cherished family member, and we are committed to providing the highest quality care. Whether your pet needs a routine check-up or treatment for a specific health issue, our veterinary team is here to support you and your pet every step of the way.
