Welcome to Tennessee Avenue Animal Hospital, where our experienced veterinary team provides dedicated exotic pet care for Cincinnati's rats owners. Pet rats are intelligent and social, but they're also prone to respiratory illness and tumors, making regular checkups worthwhile.
Rats are prone to chronic respiratory disease and mammary or other tumors as they age, both of which are much easier to manage when caught early. Our team is comfortable examining and treating pet rats, from routine wellness visits to evaluating new lumps or breathing changes.
Your pet's comfort and safety are our top priorities throughout every exotic pet visit at Tennessee Avenue Animal Hospital.
We'll check your rat's coat, body condition, and feel for any new lumps or masses during a gentle, thorough exam.
We listen closely to your rat's breathing, since respiratory infections are one of the most common health issues in pet rats.
Any new lumps are evaluated, since rats, especially females, are prone to developing tumors that can often be surgically removed.
We'll go over housing, diet, and enrichment to help support your rat's overall health.
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:
An annual wellness exam is a good baseline for pet rats, with more frequent visits recommended for older rats or those with a history of respiratory issues or tumors.
