EXOTIC PET MEDICINE & SURGERY
We treat many different exotic pets at our hospital: Ferrets, Rabbits, Hamsters, Rats, Skunks, Raccoons, Hedge Hogs, Sugar gliders, Squirrels, Gerbils, Prarie dogs, Guinea pigs, etc. Dr. Arun is an active member of the Exotic Mammalian Veterinary Association.

Meet our patient Skeeter. He is a 12 year old squirrel. In May 2005, he was diagnosed with an uncommon skin disease known as Epithiliotrophic Lymphoma. A complete surgical excision was performed to remove the affected skin under Sevoflurane anesthesia and he had an uneventful recovery. Epithiliotrophic lymphoma has never been reported in any Squirrel in the world and we are planning to publish this case in scientific journels to educate other Veterinarians, interested in exotic pet medicine. Skeeter is now doing great and we are happy to help our cute, energetic loving patient to provide many more years of companionship for his adopted family.

We recommend annual physical exam and intestinal parasite exam for your pet rabbit. Visit our hospital to obtain free handouts regarding rabbit husbandry. Our doctors recommend neutering all male rabbits to reduce sexual activity and spaying all females to prevent incidence of uterine tumors. We also carry high quality OXBOW timothy grass hay and rabbit pellets.

Ferrets are very popular and wonderful companions. Ferrets reqiure annual vaccinations against distemper disease and Rabies. They are also susceptible to heartworm disease and must be placed on monthly heartworm preventive. Bite of a single infected mosquito is all that is needed for your ferret to contract deadly heartworm disease, Even strictly indoor ferrets susceptible for this disease. Every time a family member opens the door any mosquito can enter your house..
Malignancy in older Ferrets are common and early diagnosis, surgery and treatment will help to keep your Ferret friends to live a long life.We stronly recommend biannual physical exam to keep your healthy ferret healthy.
