In honor of ‘Heart Health Month’ we wanted to share with you the Association of Exotic Mammal Veterinarians post regarding Heart Health in 🐇 Rabbits, Guinea Pigs and Ferrets.

💙✨ February is Heart Health Month! ✨💙

This month, we’re raising awareness about cardiac health in exotic companion mammals! Just like cats and dogs, rabbits, ferrets, and even guinea pigs can also suffer from serious cardiovascular conditions.

Common signs of heart disease in exotic mammals:
❤️ Lethargy or weakness
💨 Increased respiratory effort or rate
🍽️ Decreased appetite or weight loss
🩺 Abnormal heart sounds or murmurs detected during veterinary exams

Early detection is key to managing heart disease! Routine veterinary check-ups, imaging (such as radiographs and echocardiograms), and proper diet and exercise can help keep our exotic patients’ hearts healthy.

Throughout February, we’ll be sharing veterinary insights on diagnosing and managing cardiac disease in small exotic mammals. Stay tuned! 🐰🐹🦔🐾
