Comprehensive Care for Small Mammals

Dr. Ellis is experienced, gentle, and dedicated to the unique health needs of these special pets, offering the same compassionate and thorough care you expect from all our services.

We Treat the Following Small Mammals:

• Hamsters
• Guinea Pigs
• Gerbils
• Rats and mice
• Rabbits
• Other similar small mammals

Small Mammal Wellness Care

Routine wellness care plays an important role in keeping small mammals healthy and comfortable throughout their lives. At Ayers Animal Hospital, our wellness visits are tailored to each species and may include:

• Comprehensive physical exams
• Weight and body condition monitoring
• Nutritional and habitat guidance
• Dental and oral health evaluations
• Parasite screening and prevention when appropriate
• Early detection of illness or age-related conditions

Because small mammals are skilled at hiding signs of illness, regular wellness exams help identify potential concerns early and support a longer, healthier life.

What We Don’t Treat

To ensure the highest quality care and best outcomes for all patients, Ayers Animal Hospital does not offer veterinary services for:

• Ferrets
• Birds
• Reptiles
• Amphibians
• Other exotic species outside small mammals

If you’re unsure whether your pet is within the types we treat, our team is happy to help guide you before scheduling an appointment.
