Reptiles And Amphibians

Birds

Our veterinarians treat parakeets, cockatiels, parrots, and other companion birds. 

Small Mammals

We care for rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, rats, and similar species. 

Every exotic pet is treated as an individual. Care is tailored based on species, age, lifestyle, and environment to support long-term health.

Wellness Exams And Preventive Care

Routine wellness visits are the foundation of long-term health. We provide thorough physical exams and personalized care plans designed around your pet’s species, environment, and lifestyle.

Diagnostics And Imaging

Exotic pets often show subtle signs when something is wrong. Our advanced in-house laboratory, digital radiography, ultrasound, and AI-assisted imaging help us move quickly from symptoms to answers.

Medical Treatment And Disease Management

From infections to chronic conditions, we offer progressive treatment options to manage disease, reduce discomfort, and protect quality of life. We take time to explain findings and guide you through each decision.

Surgical And Hospital Care

When a procedure is needed, your pet’s safety is our priority. We provide advanced surgical care, human-grade anesthesia and monitoring, and attentive inpatient support when recovery requires hospitalization.

Pain Management And Rehabilitation

We use multi-modal pain management and supportive therapies, including cold laser therapy, oxygen therapy, and rehabilitation planning to help pets heal comfortably and regain strength.

Nutrition And Habitat Counseling

Diet and husbandry play an outsized role in exotic health. We help owners refine feeding routines, enclosure design, lighting, temperature, humidity, and enrichment to support long-term wellness.

Our team provides comprehensive care backed by advanced tools and careful attention.

While each species has unique risks, many exotic pets face health concerns related to nutrition and environment. Common issues include:

• Metabolic disease and nutritional deficiencies
• Respiratory infections and breathing difficulties
• Parasites and gastrointestinal upset
• Dental disease, especially in rabbits and other small mammals
• Skin problems, wounds, and infections
• Husbandry-related concerns linked to enclosure conditions

Early evaluation is important because exotic pets often hide illness until it becomes advanced.

Preventive care is the best way to protect your pet’s long-term health. We often recommend:

• Routine wellness exams to identify issues early
• Nutrition and supplementation guidance based on species
• Habitat optimization, including lighting and temperature support
• Parasite prevention and screening as appropriate
• Ongoing monitoring for weight, appetite, and behavior changes

Preventive care is not one-size-fits-all. We tailor recommendations to your pet’s needs and your home setup.

Yes. Nutrition and husbandry are central to exotic wellness. We help owners with:

• Diet planning and feeding schedules
• Lighting, including UVB guidance for reptiles
• Temperature gradients and humidity control
• Enclosure size, substrate, and sanitation
• Enrichment strategies that support natural behavior

Our goal is to give you practical guidance you can apply right away to support long-term stability and health.

If you notice changes, it is safer to schedule an evaluation sooner rather than later. Signs to watch for include:

• Reduced appetite or refusal to eat
• Lethargy, weakness, or decreased activity
• Changes in droppings or urination
• Open-mouth breathing, wheezing, or labored breathing
• Swelling, lumps, discharge, or wounds
• Sudden behavior changes or signs of discomfort
• Poor shedding, abnormal skin, or visible parasites

If you are unsure, call our office. We can help you decide the next best step.

Yes. Our team can diagnose and treat a wide range of illnesses in exotic pets using advanced tools and a careful, methodical approach. We offer in-house diagnostics, imaging, and progressive treatment planning to address both acute and chronic conditions.

When treatment is needed, we focus on clear communication. We explain what we are seeing, what it may mean, and how we can move forward with a plan that supports your pet’s health and comfort.

Most exotic pets benefit from at least annual wellness exams. More frequent visits may be recommended for:

• Senior pets
• Pets with chronic medical conditions
• Pets recovering from illness or surgery
• New pets adjusting to a new habitat or diet

Routine exams help us catch subtle problems early, before they become serious.

Muncy Veterinary Center can see emergency and urgent cases during business hours, with priority given when needed. If your pet needs care after hours, we refer you to local emergency animal hospitals and help guide you through the next steps.

Costs can vary based on your pet’s needs. Factors that influence cost include:

• Species and complexity of care
• Diagnostics such as imaging and lab work
• Medical treatments and medications
• Hospitalization or surgery when necessary

We focus on transparency and will review estimates with you before moving forward. Our goal is to provide clear options and guidance you can trust.
