Exotic Pet Nutrition and Dental Care
The cornerstone of any pet’s health is nutrition. Making sure your pet receives a balanced, nutritious diet is paramount. Our clinic offers the Zupreem line of exotic pet foods, which offers high-quality diets to various species, including pocket pets and birds. A high-quality food that is tailored to your pet’s needs can prevent the development of various diseases. For some pets, such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and gerbils, a proper diet can also play a key role in dental care and prevent tooth overgrowth and other problems.
For expert care recommendations for your exotic pet, schedule an appointment with us by calling (512) 847-5630 or request an appointment online.
Bird Care
Wimberley Veterinary Clinic provides services for all manner of birds, from budgies to free-range chickens. While not the most typical of pets, birds are no less deserving of lifelong veterinary care from a team that understands their unique needs, especially their nutrition, habitation, and in some cases, reproduction. If you keep chickens, then you’ll want to find a veterinarian who can help them stay healthy and ensure maximum egg production for your flock.
Services we generally provide for our bird patients include:
- Evaluation of diet and habitat
- Radiology
- Laboratory testing and evaluation
- DNA sex determination
- Soft tissue and orthopedic surgery
- Nutritional counseling
- Flock health evaluations (for poultry)
- Microchipping
- Nail, beak, and wing trims (for caged birds)
