Welcome to Tennessee Avenue Animal Hospital, where our experienced veterinary team provides dedicated exotic pet care for Cincinnati's hamsters & gerbils owners. Small and fast-moving, hamsters and gerbils still benefit from veterinary care for illness, injury, and age-related conditions.
Hamsters and gerbils are prone to dental problems, respiratory infections, and skin masses, and their small size means illness can progress quickly. Our team is experienced in gently handling and examining these small pets to identify and treat issues early.
Your pet's comfort and safety are our top priorities throughout every exotic pet visit at Tennessee Avenue Animal Hospital.
We perform a gentle, hands-on exam checking teeth, coat, and body condition, along with feeling for any lumps.
We listen for abnormal breathing and examine the skin for masses, wounds, or signs of mites.
Overgrown incisors are common in hamsters and gerbils, and we check for signs of dental issues affecting eating.
Depending on symptoms, we may recommend bloodwork or further testing to identify the underlying issue.
Exotic pets are skilled at hiding signs of illness, which means problems can be well underway before they become obvious at home. Regular veterinary care helps catch health issues early, when they're easiest to treat.
Our team is comfortable examining and treating a wide range of exotic species, going beyond the basics that many general practices offer.
Catching illness early leads to better outcomes and less invasive treatment, especially for species that hide symptoms well.
Many exotic pet health issues trace back to diet, housing, or environment, so we take the time to review these factors as part of your pet's care.
If your pet is showing any of the following, please contact our veterinary team:
A wellness exam is recommended any time you notice a change in behavior, appetite, or appearance, since hamsters and gerbils can decline quickly once illness sets in.
