At Wishing Well Vets in Wishaw, we provide dedicated care for small animals including rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and other small pets. These animals have very specific needs, and our team is experienced in recognising and treating the subtle signs of illness they often show.
Whether it’s a routine check-up or a health concern, we take a gentle, careful approach to make sure your pet feels as comfortable as possible.
Small animals need a slightly different approach to care. We take extra time to handle them gently, reduce stress, and make sure we’re picking up on the subtle signs that can often be missed.
Gentle handling
Small animals can be easily stressed, so we take extra care to keep them calm and comfortable.
Thorough health check
We’ll assess teeth, weight, coat condition, and overall health.
Species-specific advice
From diet to housing, we’ll guide you on what’s best for your pet.
Early detection of issues
Small pets often hide illness — we help spot problems early.
Small pets can become unwell quickly, and the signs aren’t always obvious. If something doesn’t feel right, it’s always best to have them checked sooner rather than later.
Routine health checks
Regular visits help prevent common issues, especially in rabbits and guinea pigs.
Changes in eating or behaviour
A small change can be a big warning sign in small animals.
Dental concerns
Overgrown teeth are common and need regular monitoring.
Weight loss or lethargy
These can indicate underlying health problems and should be checked quickly.
Whether it’s a new concern or something that’s been on your mind for a while, our experienced team is here to help.
We’ll take the time to listen, answer your questions, and make sure you feel confident about your pet’s care.
Real experiences from clients who’ve trusted us with their pet’s care.
