Exotic and Bird Veterinarian in Sacramento, CA
Birds, rabbits, reptiles, and pocket pets often hide signs of illness until they are already feeling very sick. A small change in appetite, droppings, breathing, posture, or behavior can be your first clue that something needs attention.
At our Sacramento animal hospital, our exotic and bird veterinarian cares for pets who need more specialized handling, diagnostics, and treatment than a traditional dog-and-cat visit. We see many unique species and offer medical care, wellness guidance, diagnostics, and surgery for exotic pets with thoughtful attention to their anatomy, stress level, and daily needs.
Book now to schedule your exotic pet’s visit, or call our team at (916) 446-6154 if you’re unsure whether your pet needs to be seen.

Exotic and Avian Veterinary Services We Offer
Our exotic and bird care is designed to support both everyday health and more complex medical needs.
Routine exams help us evaluate weight, body condition, diet, behavior, housing, lighting, humidity, enrichment, and species-specific health risks.
If your bird or exotic pet is acting differently, not eating, breathing abnormally, or showing sudden changes, our team can evaluate the problem and recommend treatment quickly.
Diagnostics may include bloodwork, fecal testing, skin or feather testing, digital X-rays, and ultrasound when appropriate to help us better understand your pet’s condition.
Bird services may include wellness exams, nutritional counseling, beak and nail care, wing trimming discussions, sexing, diagnostic testing, and medical or surgical care.
Our veterinarians perform select soft tissue and surgical procedures for exotic pets and birds, with careful planning around anesthesia, species, size, and recovery needs.
Rabbits, guinea pigs, and some other small mammals can develop painful dental problems, while birds may need help with overgrown beaks or nails. We can evaluate these concerns and recommend appropriate care.
