🐰 Have you ever had a sick rabbit, guinea pig, ferret, or other small mammal and been told by your veterinarian…
• "We don't see rabbits."
• "You'll have to go to UW."
• "We can only see them for routine care."
If so, you have another option.
When your rabbit stops eating, your guinea pig develops a lump, your ferret becomes lethargic, or your hedgehog suddenly isn't acting like themselves, you need more than someone willing to "take a look." You need a veterinary team that treats these cases every week.
That's exactly what we do.
At Healthy Pet Veterinary Clinic, nearly 30% of our patients are exotic companion mammals - and not just for wellness exams. We routinely diagnose and treat illness, perform surgery, provide dental care, hospitalize critically ill patients, and manage chronic medical conditions.
Our team regularly cares for rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, chinchillas, hedgehogs, sugar gliders, rats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, and degus. Because these patients are a major part of our practice, we've invested in the specialized training, equipment, and protocols needed to provide them with exceptional care.
📍 If you've been driving to UW—or thought you had no local options—you don't have to travel for the care your rabbit, guinea pig, ferret, or other small mammal deserves. We're right here on East Washington Avenue in Madison.
