Surgery for these small and often delicate pets requires considerable skill and specialized equipment, such as micro-instrumentation, magnification equipment, and electro surgery, to prevent blood loss and minimize trauma. Our facility specializes in advanced oral surgery and dentistry for chinchillas, rabbits, guinea pigs and many other exotic animals. In addition, our facility focuses on reptile medicine, surgery and endoscopy.
