Pet Wellness ExamPet Wellness CareThe veterinary team at Silverado Veterinary Hospital believes that prevention is the key to your pet's long term health.

Avian and Reptile ExamsWe believe that all pets deserve the opportunity to lead the happiest and healthiest life possible. This is why we offer medical care for exotic or pocket pets ? small mammals such as rabbits, chinchillas, guinea pigs, rats and mice.

For example, in the wild, many of these animals developed strategies to conceal illness or injuries as a survival technique. These tendencies continue in domestic exotic and pocket pets, which mean their medical problems often go unnoticed. This is why we strongly recommend semi annual physical examinations to check for health, nutrition and husbandry-related conditions.

After acquiring your new exotic or pocket pet, a complete examination by one of our specialized veterinarians is also strongly recommended. The exam includes a thorough physical, nutrition consultation, disease screening and laboratory testing if necessary. |
