Exotic Pet Medicine and Surgery in Sacramento, CA

OPEN THURSDAY - FRIDAY 5:00pm to 9:00PM

At Broadway Veterinary Hospital, we know that exotic pets are part of the family – and they deserve the same high standard of care as dogs or cats. From guinea pigs and rabbits to reptiles, birds, and hamsters, our Sacramento clinic provides tailored treatment for many different species. Exotic animal medicine is complex and ever-evolving, and our experienced team is here to deliver the care your pet needs at every stage of life.

Whether your exotic companion requires routine wellness checks, surgical services, or help managing an illness, we offer quality care designed specifically for non-traditional animals. We’re proud to serve as a trusted provider of exotic pet medicine in Sacramento and surrounding areas.

Our dedicated team is here to provide urgent, high-quality care for your pets—because they’re family and deserve immediate attention when it matters most!

What Exotic Pets Need from Their Vet – and Why It Matters

Unlike dogs and cats, exotic animals often hide signs of illness, making it harder to catch problems early. That’s why preventative care is so important. Whether you own rabbits, lizards, guinea pigs, or birds, having a vet who understands exotic species is essential for maintaining your pet’s health.

At Broadway Veterinary Hospital, we offer medical services for exotic patients including annual exams, parasite checks, dietary support, surgical care, and treatment for common and species-specific conditions. Because exotic pets can experience stress quickly, our approach focuses on gentle handling, calm environments, and efficient diagnostics. Every patient receives individual attention based on their unique needs.

Common Conditions We Treat in Exotic Animals

Our Sacramento team has experience treating a wide range of exotic species, and we’re familiar with the signs that often go unnoticed. Some of the most common medical issues we see in exotic animals include:

  • Respiratory infections in birds and reptiles
  • Dental problems in guinea pigs, hamsters, and rabbits
  • Skin conditions in lizards and other reptiles
  • Digestive or dietary imbalances across species
  • Tumors or reproductive issues in small mammals

If you notice a change in your pet’s behavior, appetite, or energy level, don’t wait—early treatment can make all the difference.

Surgical Services for Exotic Patients

Surgery for exotic pets requires precision, experience, and a calm environment. Our veterinary team provides surgical services customized for the anatomy and physiology of each species we see. Whether your rabbit needs a mass removal or your bird requires emergency medical assistance, our clinic is equipped to provide safe and effective care.

We use advanced monitoring, species-appropriate anesthesia protocols, and gentle recovery practices to help your pet heal comfortably. Every procedure is handled with care, and we take the time to explain all options and aftercare to you in detail.

Hear From Our Pet Parents

“ Dr. Sam saved my baby...

My dog Aurora had mouth cancer. I found out and had such little time to schedule her surgery because it was so aggressive. I was referred to Dr. Sam by a friend. I live in Santa Barbara and made the trip up to Sacramento. I am still impressed how well everything went! She had to have almost half of her jaw removed. She is cancer free and looking amazing! Back to her puppy self. First picture is only 2 months after surgery! 2nd and 3rd are the day of. Dr. Sam saved my baby

“ The hospitality and professionalism demonstrated by the entire staff was second to none...

I drove 95 miles to have Dr. Sam at Broadway Vet perform surgery on my kitten. The hospitality and professionalism demonstrated by the entire staff was second to none and I will be a return customer for all my future veterinary needs! My kitty bounced back so quickly because Dr. Sam is an expert in his field and knew just what needed to be done. Highly recommend Broadway Veterinary Hospital! Thanks, Dr. Sam!
