Rabbit and guinea pig vet
Preventative health is important for all kinds of exotic pets.
At Port Kennedy Vets you can be confident your pet is being looked after by a caring vet.
We understand the specific needs of rabbits and guinea pigs. Rabbits for instance should be vaccinated against diseases such as calicivirus between 10 and 12 weeks of age, with 12 monthly follow-up vaccinations after that.
Rabbits can also be affected by fleas, lice and mites. Mites may cause a skin condition in your rabbit and irritate your pet. The vets at Port Kennedy vet can best advise on how to prevent, manage and provide treatment for your pet.
Lice and mites can be a common problem for guinea pigs and cause itchiness and sores. Both rabbits and guinea pigs also need regular dental checks, as they can experience overgrown incisors and molars. Your guinea pig vet can guide you on the best preventative health plan.
You may also like to consider desexing your rabbit if you are not planning on breeding them.
