Exotic/Pocket Pet Veterinarian
Exotic/Pocket pets require a level of care that most companion pets do not. They have complex needs, and at times, require specific medical attention. Dr. Amanda Hoffman is now seeing a few of the most common pocket pets—birds, ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits, and more! Our team is dedicated to providing a comfortable and stress-free environment, which is why many of our team members are Fear-Free Certified! We treat exotic pets with the same level of care and attention as a standard companion pet. Pets are more than just an animal, they are our family members!
**See below for an extensive list of species we treat at Animal Doctor Blue Hills.
Birds
Grooming:
Dr. Hoffman and staff can perform grooming essentials for your avian. Over time or with certain ailments, your bird may experience abnormal wear or growth that requires a nail or beak trim. Depending on your bird, we may also recommend wing trims for maintenance, which can be performed at Animal Doctor Blue Hills!
Because there are a wide array of avian species, please call our clinic to schedule an appointment for your bird!
Small Mammals
Routine Care:
At Animal Doctor Blue Hills, we offer routine physical examinations to maximize quality of life for your pet. During these visits, clients can expect to discuss the current habitat and nutrition, and the doctor will perform a thorough exam to check for abnormalities. Our staff will also provide your pet with a nail trim and can address minor problems during these visits. If necessary, we will use diagnostic testing and radiographs to identify underlying conditions.
Surgical Procedures: At this time, Dr. Hoffman will only be offering basic nail/beak/wing trims along with minor dental procedures. For extensive and major surgical procedures, clients should call K-State Veterinary Medicine in Manhattan, KS.
