What pets do we treat

We are primarily a small animal practice.  This means we mainly treat dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and small caged pets.  In addition to this we also sees poultry cases (e.g. domestic chickens, ducks, geese) and some reptiles such as tortoises.  We advise clients (including all new clients and existing clients with new reptile pets) to be aware of veterinary practices with specific exotic pets provision, see below.  We may direct you to this list depending on the type of reptile or exotic animal you have and the nature of their condition.

Birds & Exotic Pets:

If you have an ‘exotic’ pet or birds such as parrots / aviary birds we will often recommend you seek veterinary treatment from an ‘exotics’ practice **.    We do not have any veterinary specialists at Millennium but will see any species for first aid / emergency care then refer them on to an exotics practice.  In the case of wildlife we may advise a more appropriate wildlife centre.
