- 3 yr old female Abysinnian guinea pig
- PU/PD and hair loss
- Performed an abdominal US to rule out ovarian cyst and adrenal gland tumor
- US showed a 1.0cm cyst in the right kidney that may be compressing but not obstructing the proximal right ureter. I did not find any ovarian cysts or adrenal gland tumors.
- Has anyone seen renal cysts in a guinea pig before? My rule outs include benign lesion, neoplasia, and parasitic. Not sure how to relate it to the patient’s clinical signs other than a potential urinary tract infection.

Actually I see them often and
Actually I see them often and often in ferrets as well. They can get infected but usually not a clinical issue unless occupying the whole kidney. I would look for other causes of pupd and consider uti as well.
