Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2000The 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.

Small mammal differentiation on islands
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1996Abstract 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 ...

Adrenal Disease in Small Mammals
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal PracticeAdrenal 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.
