Résumé
Cystic ovarian disease is the most common reproductive tract disorder in female guinea pigs, and concurrent uterine pathology may also be present. Nonspecific clinical signs include decreased appetite, lethargy, hunched posture, weight gain, palpable mass(es) in the midabdomen, and progressive abdominal distension. Additionally, bilateral, nonpruritic alopecia of the flank and ventral abdomen; hyperkeratosis, crusting, and/or hyperpigmentation of nipples; clitoral hypertrophy; reduced fertility; and behavioral changes may also be appreciated. Confirmation of disease is most often made with abdominal ultrasound but may also occur during exploratory abdominal surgery. Recommended treatment is surgical management with ovariohysterectomy or ovariectomy.
