Neurological and ophthalmological disease
Abstract
Neurological conditions are poorly documented in guinea pigs and can be challenging to diagnose. Ocular abnormalities are very common in guinea pigs and it is unclear how well they can see. This chapter guides the reader through adapting neurological examinations and diagnostic procedures to guinea pig patients. The second half of the chapter provides a guide to the diagnosis and management of a range of ophthalmic conditions, with ample reference images.
