Clinic Overview & Expertise
The Animal Clinic of Milford is a leader in rabbit and small mammal medicine. They have made significant investments in specialized equipment, such as tiny-diameter endotracheal tubes designed specifically for the safe intubation of rabbits during surgery. This reduces the anesthetic risk for high-stress prey animals. Their medical team is highly skilled in treating common but complex exotic issues, including dental abscesses and GI stasis. Beyond surgery, they offer detailed 'Nutritional Audits' to ensure that every patient—from hamsters to hedgehogs—is receiving a species-appropriate diet to support long-term metabolic health.
