Original language description
Guinea pigs are commonly used as laboratory animals; however, over the past few years, they have become increasingly popular as pets. The aim of this article was to present disease prevalence in 400 pet guinea pigs. Between January 2008 and March 2010, 400 guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus, 223 males and 177 females) were examined at the clinic. The body weight of guinea pigs ranged between 70g and 1.66 kg (average 0.84?0.21 kg) and their age ranged between 7 days and 9 years (average 2.36 ? 1.39 years). Allanimals that were examined at the clinic presented various signs of disease or were presented for regular health check. Clinical examination included assessment of behaviour, body condition, examination of fur, eye and ears, palpation of lymph nodes, auscultation of cardiovascular system and respiratory system and palpation of the abdominal cavity. The oral cavity was examined with a paediatric laryngoscope. Blood for haematological and plasma chemistry analyses was obtained from crania
