Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and other small mammals have specific medical needs that differ significantly from dogs and cats — and require veterinarians with experience in their particular physiology, diet, and disease patterns. At West Hills, we provide veterinary care for small mammals with the same attention to detail we bring to all our patients.
Preventive care is not just maintenance. It is the single most powerful investment you can make in your pet’s long-term health, happiness, and the number of years you spend together.

Common Conditions in Small Mammals
- Dental malocclusion: the most common health problem in rabbits and guinea pigs — overgrown teeth cause pain and prevent normal eating
- GI stasis: a life-threatening condition in rabbits where gut motility slows or stops — requires urgent attention
- Respiratory infections: particularly common in guinea pigs and hamsters
- Parasites: mites, lice, and fungal infections affecting the skin and coat
- Urinary problems: bladder stones and urinary tract infections seen in guinea pigs and rabbits
- Reproductive issues: uterine disease in unspayed female rabbits is extremely common and can be life-threatening
