Recommended veterinarians in Central Texas for exotics* 

Small animals require specialist veterinary care that may not be offered by every veterinary clinic.  Owners of small animals should seek a clinic that focuses in exotic veterinary medicine; vets who are qualified in exotics are qualified to provide care to birds, reptiles, but also rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, degus, gerbils, hedgehogs, mice, hamsters, and other small animals.  Below you will find a list of veterinary clinics offering such services. ​Feedback on recommendations made here are always welcome.

Note: If you have an emergency, refer to the Guinea Lynx medical guide to attempt to identify the problem. In many cases, a vet visit will be necessary.
