4361. Vet Case Study 2024: Encapsulated abscess in a guinea pig. Part1.

VET CASE STUDY: 4 Nov 2024:
A large encapsulated abscess in a guinea pig. Part 1.



HISTORY
On 3 Nov 2024, I received a WhatsApp from a lady guinea pig owner:

"Hi Dr Sing. A friend gave me your contact. May I ask if you see guinea pigs?"

"We do treat guinea pigs," I texted back. "What happened to your pet?"

She sent a photo and video with the text" "My vet tech has come to help to flush the wound."

I would meet her at 10 am at Toa Payoh vets on 4 Nov to consult as it is very important for the vet to physically examine the patient with the owner.  


She sent me the following images and videos showing the 5-year-old guinea pig has an excellent appetite and is healthy. Her poos are of normal size and amount. Hence the pet is fit for anaesthesia and surgery to be done today. There will be less chance of dying from anaesthesia in a healthy guinea pig.





 
 
 
VIDEOS ON 3 NOV 2024, BEFORE SURGERY
will be added later.
