Our hospital welcomes families from across Chester Springs and the surrounding communities, and by staying current with the latest in exotic animal medicine, Dr. Matunis ensures each patient receives effective, up-to-date care.
Routine check-ups are essential for exotic pets, who often hide signs of illness. As your rabbit, guinea pig, or small animal vet, Dr. Matunis emphasizes preventive care, including:
Exotic pets are not just smaller versions of dogs and cats. Their anatomy, diet, and behavior are completely different, which means they need a vet who understands their specific needs. Most importantly, rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters instinctively hide signs of illness as a survival behavior. By the time you notice something is wrong at home, the issue may already be serious.
Routine visits with a trusted exotic pet vet are how we catch problems early, through subtle weight changes, dental wear, breathing patterns, and behavior shifts that owners often can’t detect on their own. For exotic pets, preventive care isn’t just helpful, it’s essential.
By staying up to date with the latest in exotic animal medicine, we ensure each patient receives effective, modern, and personalized care. Because many exotic pets naturally hide signs of illness, routine check-ups and preventive care play a vital role in maintaining their health. We treat every rabbit, guinea pig, and hamster that comes through our doors with the same care and attention as any other patient.

At Eagle Animal Hospital, "exotic pets" refers to small companion animals that aren't dogs or cats. This includes rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and other small mammals. Each species has unique medical needs that require a specialized exotic pet vet.
Healthy adult rabbits and guinea pigs should have a wellness exam at least once a year. Senior pets and those with chronic conditions may need to come in every six months. Routine visits with a rabbit vet or guinea pig vet help catch issues early.
Watch for decreased appetite, reduced droppings, lethargy, hiding more than usual, weight loss, or labored breathing. In rabbits, decreased appetite is an emergency. Call us right away if you notice any of these signs.
Dr. Matunis focuses primarily on rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters. If you have a different small companion animal, please call us at (610) 458-8789 so we can confirm whether we're the right fit for your pet.
