Guinea pig, hamster and small mammal vets in San Jose, CA
3 practices in San Jose, out of the 59 we list there. Each one says so on its own website, which is where we read it.
Guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, chinchillas and hedgehogs get grouped together as pocket pets, which hides how different they are. Guinea pigs need dietary vitamin C and get respiratory infections; rats get mammary tumours. Ask about your specific animal rather than the category.
