[Gpdd] [CARE] Guinea Pig Book

[Dr Kay Dudman]

I have recently acquired a guinea pig health care book that I think is so
good I would like to recommend it everybody.  It lists health problems
with clinical signs, treatment options and supporting comments.  There are
sections on the skin, reproductive system, urinary system, respiratory
system, digestive system, musculoskeletal system, head and neck,
behaviour and the central nervous system, husbandary, anaesthetics,
treatments, alternative therapies and zoonotic aspects.  The author is a
Vet in the UK who has had guinea pigs herself for over 30 years.

The book is:

Diseases of Domestic Guinea Pigs
by Virginia Richardson
2nd edition 2000
Blackwell Publishing
ISBN 0-632-05209-0

I bought my copy from Amazon; it was just under 28 pounds sterling, and is
a really good purchase with all the information in it (including
appendices on physiological data, and herbal and homeopathic remedies,
further reading and an index).
