The BSAVA Manual of Guinea Pigs provides a comprehensive guide to the veterinary care of cavies. Discussion of guinea pig medicine and surgery has previously been confined to chapters or sections in exotic or rodent books, and often coupled with rabbit medicine or welfare. Whilst guinea pigs do share many problems with rabbits and other rodent species kept as pets, they are distinctly different.
