Burr Ridge Veterinary Clinic knows that best friends come in all shapes and sizes; that’s why in addition to dogs and cats, we provide care for more unique small pets. Small mammals (sometimes known as “pocket pets”), exotic pets and birds are fun companions; however, they require the right environment and regular attention to be healthy. Dr. Rooney and Dr. Johnson are available to examine and treat many kinds of small and unique animals, including:
- Turtles
- Land tortoises
- Geckos
- Rats
- Rabbits
- Rodents
- Non-venomous snakes
- Hedgehogs
- Bearded dragons*
- Birds*
- Reptiles
If you recently adopted or purchased your pet, schedule a wellness exam so we can educate you on how to properly care for, feed, and identify problems in the animal. Have questions, or want to bring your out-of-the-ordinary companion to see us? Make an appointment online or give us a call at (630) 598-0600.
*We do NOT currently see ferrets or birds and bearded dragons that are ill, so please be sure to mention if you are coming for a wellness visit or if you suspect illness.
