Diseases in pet degus: a retrospective study in 300 animals
Original language description
Objectives: The aim of this article was to present disease prevalence in 300 pet degus divided in two age groups (under and above two years). Methods: Medical records of degus (Octodon degus), which were presented to the author's clinic in the period from January 2007 to December 2009, were reviewed. Results: The most common diseases in degus were (1) acquired dental disease (60 center dot 0%) with significantly higher prevalence in older animals (P { 0.001), (2) skin alopecia due to fur chewing (13 center dot 33%) and (3) lens cataracts (13 center dot 33%). Other common disorders included traumatic injuries to soft tissues (bite wounds and tail slip), traumatic fractures and dietary diarrhoea. Reproductive disorders were most commonly associated withdystocia and pathological changes in the post-natal period. Only 38 degus in a total of 300 animals were healthy. Clinical Significance: This is the first study to describe the disease prevalence in two age groups of pet degus. The majori
