Recommended exotic mammal veterinarians in Central Texas

Guinea pigs require specialist veterinary care that may not be offered by every veterinary clinic. Owners should seek a clinic that focuses in exotic veterinary medicine for mammals. 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 is our a list of veterinary clinics offering care for guinea pigs. ​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.
