Guinea pigs
Abstract
Guinea pigs are popular pets for both adults and children, and they are often presented to the small animal practitioner for medical problems. Diseases and management problems seen in pet guinea pigs often vary from those commonly seen in laboratory animals, and the treatment techniques used in pet animals also are different. This article reviews pet guinea pigs' common medical problems and treatment.
