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.

Every New Mexico city we list is on the New Mexico page, and the national list is at small mammals vets nationwide. If nothing here fits, a licensed veterinarian will answer a written question free, which is often the fastest way to find out whether the drive is worth making.
A practice appears here only because its own website says it treats small mammals. We have not tested anyone's skill and this is not a recommendation. Listings without the PawsRx Verified badge are compiled from public records, have not been verified by PawsRx, and are not affiliated with PawsRx.
