Casselton Veterinary Service

Overview: Casselton Veterinary Service (Casselton & Fargo, ND)

Finding specialized exotic care in North Dakota can be an uphill battle, making a practice with a dedicated Exotic Pet Medicine department a massive find for our community. Operating out of two locations in Casselton and Fargo, Casselton Veterinary Service is one of the most robustly equipped practices in the region for rabbits. Unlike basic general practices, they explicitly call out treatment for critical lagomorph issues like overgrown teeth and gastrointestinal distress. Combined with their in-house advanced diagnostics—including ultrasound and CT scans—they are highly capable of handling both routine preventative care and complex dental or surgical cases.

What you need to know as a rabbit owner: Having in-house CT scanning is a game-changer for diagnosing deep tooth root abscesses, a common and dangerous issue for rabbits. If you are scheduling a routine spay or neuter, this facility is a strong choice, though you should still have a standard conversation with the scheduling vet about their specific rabbit anesthesia and post-operative pain management protocols. Additionally, be sure to contact the front desk ahead of your appointment to verify their current stock of the RHDV2 vaccine.

Important Emergency Limitations: The Fargo clinic is a highly valuable asset because they offer extended evening hours (open until 9:00 PM, Monday through Saturday). This is often a lifesaver if you notice the early signs of GI stasis after normal work hours. However, they are not a 24/7 emergency hospital, and both locations are closed on Sundays. If your bunny suffers a critical emergency late at night or on a Sunday, you must have a backup plan mapped out, which may involve driving to a 24/7 exotic critical care center further away.
