Pets & Exotics
Medical care and treatment options for pet and exotic animals have developed significantly in recent years. Today, we can identify and treat many diseases in these animals, similar to cats and dogs. Most health problems of these animals result from incorrect or inadequate husbandry and from the lack of early detection of disease symptoms. It is therefore extremely important to carry out regular health checks or, in case of doubt, to contact us to find out how best to proceed. Through joint efforts, we can increase the life expectancy of these special pets and improve their quality of life.
Rabbits have specific requirements, particularly in the digestive system. Your sensitive digestive tract requires a balanced diet and rapid medical assistance for disorders such as colic or constipation. In addition, they are susceptible to respiratory and dental problems, which often go unnoticed. We specialize in the unique needs of these small animals and offer comprehensive diagnostics and tailored treatments to ensure your rabbit's health and wellbeing.
Rabbits are susceptible to various health problems, including:
- Respiratory diseases: These can be caused by poor living conditions such as dust or inadequate hygiene. Symptoms include sneezing, nasal discharge, and difficulty breathing.
- Gastrointestinal disorders: This includes gastrointestinal stasis and diarrhea, often caused by an improper diet or stress.
- dental problems: Overgrown teeth are common and can lead to serious complications. A balanced diet with enough hay is crucial.
- skin disorders: Fleas, ringworm, or skin abscesses are also common problems. Regular care and hygiene are important.
Preventive castration and sterilization of rabbits is recommended to reduce unwanted behaviors and prevent health problems (such as breast cancer or uterine infections).

Rodents, such as sea witches, degus and rats, have specific requirements, particularly in the digestive system. Your sensitive digestive tract requires a balanced diet and rapid medical attention for disorders such as gassing. In addition, they are susceptible to respiratory and dental problems, which often go unnoticed. We specialize in the unique needs of these small animals and offer comprehensive diagnostics and tailored treatments to ensure the health and wellbeing of your rodent.
Rodents can also suffer from various diseases:
- dental problems: As with rabbits, the teeth grow continuously. An improper diet can lead to overgrowth.
- Respiratory diseases: These animals are susceptible to infections that are promoted by poor hygiene.
- Gastrointestinal disorders: These can be caused by stress or sudden changes in food.
Regular veterinary checks and the castration or sterilization of rodents are important to prevent health problems.
Because of their unique anatomy and physiology, such as the airbag system, special bones and rapid metabolism, medical care for birds requires special expertise and diagnostic methods. Important aspects include precise diagnosis using imaging techniques, blood tests and endoscopy, as well as the adjustment of drug doses to the weight and type of bird. Our experts are constantly training themselves to provide your fluttering friends with the best possible medical care and, of course, are also happy to advise you on topics such as nutrition, prevention measures and habitat design.
Birds such as parrots have specific health concerns:
- behavioral problems: Boredom can lead to behavioral problems, such as feather picking or excessive screaming.
- Respiratory diseases: Birds are susceptible to respiratory diseases that can be caused by dust or mold in their environment.
- malnutrition: An unbalanced diet can lead to vitamin deficiencies and other health problems.
It is important to keep birds in a species-appropriate manner and to provide them with sufficient employment opportunities


The needs of our cold-blooded animals often differ greatly from those of other pets. This presents reptile owners with particular challenges. An incorrect diet or less than optimal holding conditions can quickly lead to serious health problems. Since reptiles often tend to hide symptoms of illness well, regular health checks are necessary. Our veterinary clinic offers comprehensive internal medicine services. Thanks to our specialists, your pet is in safe hands with us.
Reptiles have special requirements for their husbandry:
- posture defects: Inadequate temperatures or humidity can lead to serious health problems.
- infections: Reptiles are susceptible to bacterial infections, particularly when husbandry conditions are poor.
- parasite infestation: Internal parasites are a common problem with reptiles and should be checked regularly.
Regular veterinary checks are crucial for the health of reptiles.
