Pocket Pets and Exotics:
We believe specialized pets
require specialized care. Their behavior, diet and preventative
medicine differ greatly from the typical dogs and cats seen in most
households. Here at Triadelphia Veterinary Clinic we have
knowledgeable staff for rabbit, rodent and ferret medicine.
-
Rabbit husbandry, medicine and surgery is
an
area of
expertise for Dr. Dina Jones,
as she
raised rabbits for almost 20 years before
attending vet school -
since becoming a
veterinarian,
Dr. Jones has
performed numerous spays, neuters and abdominal surgeries on
these “furry
critters”!
-
Few people realize that rabbits and guinea pigs
have molar
(or cheek)
teeth, as well as those
uniquely prominent
incisors.
Such teeth are commonly
problematic and we are equipped to examine, trim,
and file teeth safely.
-
Ferrets need vaccines, yet it is common for them
to have vaccine reactions. We carry
and administer
appropriate ferret vaccines to reduce risk to your pet. Unfortunately,
ferrets are also prone for various types of cancer;
Triadelphia Veterinary Clinic can determine treatment protocols
that can be supportive in maintaining quality of life.
-
As for the avian and reptile species, Dr. Jones
has been working with a Board Certified Avian Veterinarian and
has
gained tremendous experience with both feathered
and scaled creatures. Appointments to see these particular
animals may be taken on a case by case basis. As with all of
our patients, if certain conditions exist where a more
specialized veterinarian is needed, referrals can be made
promptly and easily.
