Dermatology & Skin Care

Small Mammal Skin

Small pets need specific care, not generic treatment.

Small mammal skin issues are easy to miss early

Hair loss, scratching, or sore feet can build up quietly in small pets. Proper diagnosis is what actually resolves it – and small mammals need species-specific assessment, not generic skin treatment. See our Rodents page for the species we see.

I am very grateful for the excellent care my parrot received at this exotic veterinary clinic. From the moment we arrived, the staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The veterinarian was highly knowledgeable about birds and handled my parrot with great care and patience. They took the time to explain everything clearly and provided helpful advice on my parrot's health and ongoing care. It was reassuring to see how experienced they were with exotic pets, and I felt confident that my parrot was receiving the best possible treatment. The only problem is that they don't operates 24 hours a day, it would be much better if they were open 24 hours.

I had an excellent experience bringing my parrot to this exotic veterinary clinic. The veterinarian was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring towards my bird. They took the time to thoroughly examine my parrot, explain the condition clearly, and answer all my questions patiently. What impressed me most was how comfortable and calm they made my parrot feel throughout the visit. The staff were friendly, attentive, and clearly experienced in handling exotic pets. The clinic was also clean, well-organized, and welcoming. The only problem is that they don't operates 24 hours a day, it would be much better if they were open 24 hours.

Had a great experience at Exocare Veterinary Medical Centre. The staff and veterinarians are very friendly, helpful, and genuinely care about the animals. Service was fast and efficient, and the consultation fees and treatments were reasonably priced. What impressed me the most was their excellent after-service support. They were responsive to follow-up questions and provided clear guidance on post-treatment care. The doctors are highly professional, especially when it comes to avian medicine. It's not easy to find a vet with strong knowledge and experience in bird healthcare, so it's reassuring to know my birds are in good hands. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality veterinary care for exotic pets and birds!

Hair loss in small mammals has several possible causes – including mites, fungal infection, or underlying health issues. A skin assessment identifies what’s actually behind it rather than guessing.

Treatment depends on the species of mite identified through the assessment. We also advise on environmental steps to prevent reinfestation – treating the animal alone often isn’t enough.

Ringworm can spread between animals and people, so basic hygiene during treatment is worth observing. We’ll advise on straightforward precautions when you come in – it’s manageable with the right guidance.

Yes – allergic skin disease can affect small mammals as well as cats and dogs. Ask about this when you come in, or browse our Dermatology & Skin Care page for the full range of skin services we offer.

It’s often linked to the surface your rabbit lives and moves on. We assess husbandry alongside treating the affected area so the underlying cause is addressed too.
