Ferret Animal Medicine

Here at Vickery Place Animal Hospital, we understand ferret health's unique needs and nuances, and we're committed to providing exceptional care for these beloved pets.

Ferrets are extraordinary creatures, known for their boundless energy, inquisitive nature, and unmistakable charm. However, like all pets, they require attentive medical attention to ensure their well-being and longevity.

As mentioned under our Exotic Animal Medicine page; ferrets, like dogs, also require vaccination protection against Canine Distemper Virus and Rabies Virus. They are also just as susceptible to flea infestations and heartworm disease. This is why we recommend practicing exceptional preventative care for your beloved ferret.

From routine check-ups and vaccinations to specialized treatments and surgeries, our team of experienced veterinarians is here to offer expert guidance and compassionate care for your ferret companion. We understand that every ferret is unique and tailor our approach to meet each patient's needs.

What Vickery Place Clients Have to Say...

Our fam loves this place! My wife’s been bringing our pup here since before I knew her & always raved about Dr. Martin & the excellent vet techs working alongside him. Today we brought our 9 year old bunny, Gus, to Dr. Martin for a routine check-up. The staff was amazing with what is considered an “exotic animal”. They were knowledgeable, made Gus comfortable, & appreciated the way we’ve been loving him & taking care of him. Appointments are always fairly priced, efficient, & a pleasant experience. I know there are some great vets in Dallas but I truly think this place is the best of them all.

I highly recommend Vickery Place Animal Hospital! Despite having other practices closer to our home, our pugs get all their veterinary care at VPAH because of the quality care they receive there. We always receive good communication from the veterinarians and vet techs, who have treated some serious conditions over the years. VPAH is the only place we feel comfortable leaving any of our pets on the rare occasion when we need to board. They also have good relationships with some of the rescue groups in town.

The staff has taken wonderful care of my two orange tabby cats for years. The particular vets and techs have changed over time but the care and service are always top notch.
