Say hello to Theodore and Winston!🥰

They came in for their annual wellness exams! Ferrets are curious, playful, and full of personality—but they can also hide signs of illness very well. That’s why proactive care is so important.🐾

Just like dogs and cats, ferrets and other small or exotic pets need regular veterinary checkups too! 🩺 These yearly exams help us catch early signs of illness, monitor weight and nutrition, and ensure they’re living their happiest, healthiest lives.

If you have a ferret, rabbit, guinea pig, reptile, bird, or any other exotic companion, don’t skip their annual exam! Preventive care is the best way to ensure a long and healthy life. 🐰🐢🦎🦔
