The staff of Littleton Animal Hospital has much experience and knowlege about exotic pet care.  We see rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, reptiles, amphibians, as well as small mammals and rodents.  A large percentage of our patients are exotics and we provide many special services tailored to these unique critters:

• Annual wellness examinations
• Diagnostic procedures including bloodwork and external or fecal parasite testing
• Diets and nutritional counseling
• Rabbit, ferret, and rodent dentistry services:  We have special instruments for this purpose and can use endoscopy for detailed examinations and record-keeping if necessary.  We can provide incisor removal in rabbits with malocclusions that require frequent tooth trimming. 
• In-house compounded medications and an available compounding pharmacy for precise dosing as well as tasty flavors to make medicating easier for both the owner and the pet
• Surgery services:  We offer routine surgeries (spaying and neutering)  as well as many other surgeries often needed by our exotic patients such as abscess treatment, adrenal gland removal, mass removals, bladder surgery, and fracture repairs.  We provide appropriate pain control tailored to each patient and have appropriately-sized anesthesia machines and surgical instruments for these often tiny patients. 
• Lupron injections for ferrets with adrenal disease where surgery is not an option
