Dentistry General Health Check Vaccinations Microchipping Surgery and AnaesthesiaSurgery is often necessary to treat a range of diseases that affect exotic pets. We reduce the risks of anaesthesia as much as possible to ensure a comfortable, safe and smooth procedure for your pet. The patients we see are unique, and having the right anaesthetic equipment and surgical knowledge is essential for optimal patient outcomes and a smooth and comfortable recovery.
Sterilisation (Desexing)Sterilisation (otherwise known as desexing or neutering) is recommended for many exotic pets to prevent a variety of illnesses, health problems and behavioural issues later in life.
We recommend that rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs and rats be routinely desexed to prevent various issues. In some cases, sterilising your reptile or bird is also indicated for preventing some diseases.

There are many different methods used to determine the sex of a pet, and these methods depend on the age and species of the animal.
