Appenweier small animal centre

I am vet Maria Apostolidou, local manager at the Appenweier small animal centre, previously the vet in charge at the Renchen site. Many people already know us from Renchen - Appenweier is the logical next step with even better connections and modernised processes. On our new website you will find the entire range of services as well as a clear indication of our specialisations in rabbits, guinea pigs and rats - a profile that I have built up with great passion over the past few years. The Appenweier Small Animal Centre started out from the proven Renchen team („formerly: Tierarzt-Renchen.de“), which is why patient owners benefit from continuity of care, well-established SOPs and familiar contact persons.

Tumorous diseases in guinea pigs

Tumorous diseases in guinea pigs

From a veterinary perspective, we speak of "tumorous diseases in guinea pigs" when tissue proliferates uncontrollably in the body. This can be benign or malignant (cancer). Guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) exhibit a spectrum of tumor types: frequently skin and subcutaneous tumors (e.g., lipomas, trichofolliculomas), relatively often changes in the mammary glands (mammary tumors), as well as diseases of the reproductive tract and lymphatic neoplasms (lymphomas). Clinically, such processes are noticeable through palpable lumps, altered skin surfaces, weight loss, decreased performance, reduced appetite, enlarged lymph nodes, respiratory problems, or nonspecific "age-related complaints." However, tumorous diseases in guinea pigs are easily overlooked because the animals instinctively compensate for impairments for a long time.

Precise assessment of dental health is crucial, especially in dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other companion animals. Fully digital dental radiography provides detailed insights into tooth and jaw structures – quickly, safely, and with minimal radiation exposure.
