Small Mammals

The veterinarians at Goodwin Animal Hospital in Montgomery, Alabama are experienced in the care and treatment of many different animals, including small mammals such as guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, rats, gerbils, and hedgehogs.

These little pets often called pocket pets, are all unique with different care and treatment requirements. Our veterinarians know the ins and outs of your furry friend’s health. We can give you helpful tips for safely and comfortably handling your pet, as well as talk with you about a proper diet, chew toys and cage accessories, and general maintenance and health.

Teeth in gerbils, guinea pigs, and hamsters grow continuously throughout the animal’s lifespan and often require trimming. Certain chew toys can help keep the teeth worn down and healthy.

We also offer treatment for small animals suffering from parasite infestation. Parasites such as lice, mites, and fleas are common in our small, furry friends.

Just because they are tiny, it doesn’t mean they don’t deserve the best veterinary attention. For further inquiries about Goodwin Animal Hospital’s small pet veterinary services in Montgomery, Alabama, please call our office today.
