Spontaneous tumors of small mammals

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2004
The most common tumor of guinea pigs is bronchogenic papillary adenoma; of hedgehogs is mammary gland adenocarcinoma; of hamsters is adrenal cortical adenoma; of gerbils is ovarian granulosa cell and theca cell tumors; of mice is pulmonary carcinoma; and of rats is mammary fibroadenoma.

Nonreproductive Surgery in Small Mammals

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2000
The sophistication of soft-tissue surgery techniques in small mammals is increasing rapidly. Exotic animal practitioners must be familiar with the diseases, conditions, and anatomic variations of each small-mammal species. The small size of these patients should not preclude the use of technologic advances available for other small animals.

Small mammal differentiation on islands

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1996
Abstract The reason for the distinctiveness of small mammals on islands has traditionally attracted some imaginative story-telling, usually invoking isolation (as a relict) followed by adaptation and/or random genetic changes. Studies of voles on Orkney, long-tailed field mice on the Hebrides and Shetland, and house mice on the Faroe ...

Ocular Surgery in Small Mammals

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice
Small mammal ocular surgery requires knowledge on species-specific anatomic challenges that demand refined microsurgical skills. Rabbits frequently require surgical treatment of nasolacrimal obstruction, Harderian gland prolapse, corneal ulcers, and cataracts, with phacoemulsification offering good outcomes for the later.

Thoracic Surgery in Small Mammals

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice
Advances in imaging, anesthesia, and surgical techniques have made thoracic surgery in small mammals clinically feasible, yet it remains challenging due to their small size, unique physiology, and the anatomic complexity of the thorax. Improvements in computed tomography, endoscopy, and perioperative care now allow safer and more precise diagnosis and ...

Adrenal Disease in Small Mammals

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice
Adrenal gland disease has been described as a rare disease in pet rabbits and rodents. Hyperadrenocorticism with excessive secretion of corticosteroids is most commonly observed in guinea pigs and hamsters, with dermatologic signs similar to those seen in dogs.
