ABOUT OUR EXOTIC CARE
Exotic & Farm Animal Care
At Alpha Veterinary Clinic, we are proud to care for more than just dogs and cats. Our team also provides veterinary services for a variety of exotic pets and small farm animals, offering compassionate, individualized care for every member of your herd.
We routinely see animals such as:
Rabbits
Ferrets
Guinea pigs
Reptiles
Snakes
Turtles
Lizards
Goats
Sheep
Chickens
Ducks
Small pigs
And other select exotic and farm animal species
Preventive medicine is just as important for exotic and farm animals as it is for traditional companion pets. We offer routine wellness care, health evaluations, vaccination recommendations, parasite screening, and husbandry guidance to help keep these animals healthy and thriving.
For example:
Goats and sheep are generally recommended to have fecal parasite testing every 4–6 months along with routine vaccinations
Ferrets require rabies and distemper vaccinations
Additional wellness recommendations vary based on species, lifestyle, and environment
Because preventive care recommendations can differ greatly between species, we encourage owners to contact our team to discuss individualized vaccine and wellness protocols for their pets or livestock.
Medical Care & Diagnostics
Our veterinary team is able to evaluate and treat a variety of medical concerns in exotic and farm animal patients. We offer:
In-house laboratory testing
Reference laboratory diagnostics
Digital radiography
Ultrasonography
Parasite testing
Cytology and additional diagnostic services
Our advanced in-house diagnostics allow us to assess many conditions quickly while also giving us access to specialized reference laboratory testing when needed.
Surgical & Reproductive Services
We also offer select surgical and reproductive procedures for exotic and farm animal patients, including:
Rabbit spays and neuters
Small animal surgical procedures
Livestock banding services
Additional procedures depending on species and individual patient needs
Our team works carefully to tailor anesthetic and surgical protocols to the unique physiology and safety considerations of each species.
Farm Call Services
In addition to in-clinic appointments, Alpha Veterinary Clinic also offers farm call services for select small farm animal patients when appropriate. Farm visits allow us to evaluate and treat animals in their home environment while helping minimize stress for both pets and owners.
Referral & Collaborative Care
While we strive to provide comprehensive care for exotic and farm animal patients, we also recognize when specialty care may be beneficial. Our team maintains relationships with referral and specialty facilities so we can help coordinate advanced care when needed.
At Alpha Veterinary Clinic, we are passionate about serving the unique needs of exotic pets and farm animals while providing thoughtful, compassionate care for animals of all kinds.
