I know pets like dogs and cats can have yearly check ups at the vets just to make sure everything is ok, but can you take in smaller pets for basic health check ups yearly?
I have a one year old syrian hamster and he seems happy and healthy, but hamsters only live a few years and i would like to make sure his health is 100% on top form.
Thanks

I have taken in my smaller animals for checkups before. Look in the phone book for a vet that treats "exotic" animals, they usually fall in to this category. Hamsters usually live between 3-5 years. FYI there are also vets that treat "small animals", ie. birds, ferrets, etc. You may want to contact a pet store, sometimes they have a vet that they use. Good Luck.
i would try this site http://www.askpetvet.com go to the forum or try calling a local vet in your area!
Hello...hamsters, etc are often just not something people usually take to vets, or that vets know about much...cuz as you say, they don't live long %26 it often costs more then things like hamsters cost to replace ...am sure some vets would gladly take your money tho..but to me that is not a good vet, round here just an office call to a private vet starts @ $50.00 ..just follow the care instructions for your critters to your best..that's really best %26 all you can do!!! Take Care :)
