Avian & Exotic Pets

Birds, reptiles and other pocket pets are rapidly becoming popular household pets in Cary, Holly Springs, Apex, Fuquay Varina and throughout the Triangle. Hemlock Bluffs Animal Hospital of Holly Springs is happy to say we treat all of them. Dr. Shaylene Snyder routinely treats rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and rats. Dr. Hanna Cook is happy to see these species as well, in addition to ferrets, chinchillas, small birds, sugar gliders and hedgehogs and reptiles. (Sorry, no venomous snakes!)

At Hemlock Bluffs Animal Hospital, we feel wellness exams every 6 months are imperative for all exotic animals because of their natural tendency to hide illnesses. In fact, animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and ferrets can disguise their conditions so well that even the most diligent owner will not be aware of the problem until it has reached a very critical state. Wellness exams help to pick up on subtle clues of illness that an untrained eye may not see. They also serve as a great time to discuss proper care, nutrition and housing to make sure everything is being done just right. Of course, Dr. Snyder and Dr. Cook are also prepared to help in times of illness, making sure that these special pets get the best care possible.

If you have been wondering if your special pet needs an exam, the answer is yes! Contact Hemlock Bluffs Animal Hospital of Holly Springs here, or by calling 919-362-1223, for dedicated, professional care of your rabbit, guinea pig, hamster, rat, ferret, chinchilla, small bird, sugar glider, non-venomous snake, hedgehog or reptile pet. We look forward to serving you!
