Spontaneously voided urine of 31 box turtles, Terrapene spp., presented to a private clinical practice was studied. Standard urine "dipsticks" were used to assay glucose, bilirubin, ketones, blood, pH, and protein. Sediment was also evaluated microscopically. Results include a mean urine pH of 6.6 in T. carolina spp., and 6.4 in T. ornata. Mean urine specific gravity was 1.005 in T. carolina spp., and 1.007 in T. ornata. Microscopy revealed bacteria and epithelial cells in almost all samples. Urinalysis results cannot be interpreted in the same manner as in mammals. Various unique aspects of the reptilian urinary system must be accounted for in using urinalysis for clinical judgements. When properly interpreted, urinalysis is a useful indicator of the hydration status, urinary system, and general health of box turtles.

Species predilections exist for different Problems associated with the ears of reptiles include nodular swelling, discolored tympanum, head tilt, and circling. Problems of the eyes include pronounced or frequent blinking, periorbital swelling, blepharoedema (palpebral edema), buphthalmos (enlarged globe), exophthalmos (protruding globe), enophthalmos (sunken globe), microphthalmos, ocular discharge, inability to open eyes, apparent blindness (lack of response to visual stimuli), abnormal cornea, abnormal spectacle, abnormal aqueous chamber, abnormal lens, abnormal subspectacular (sub-brillar) space, and abnormal conjunctiva. The problemsolving process begins with these clinical signs and, through a series of dichotomous steps, progresses towards the diagnoses described in this manuscript. Treatment is based on a specific diagnosis, and may include surgical and medical approaches.

Research paper thumbnail of Morphological and Immunohistochemical Characterization of Spontaneous Thyroid Gland Neoplasms in Guinea Pigs (Cavia porcellus)

Reports of thyroid gland neoplasms in guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) are rare, but thyroid tumors ... more Reports of thyroid gland neoplasms in guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) are rare, but thyroid tumors are among the most common neoplasms seen in cases submitted to Northwest ZooPath. This report describes the histological and immunohistochemical characteristics of thyroid neoplasms and lists the concurrent conditions found in guinea pig cases submitted to Northwest ZooPath during 1998 to 2008. Of 526 guinea pig case submissions, 19 had thyroid neoplasms. The most common clinical findings included a palpable mass on the ventral neck and progressive weight loss. Neoplasms were removed as an excisional biopsy from 7 guinea pigs, and 3 of these animals died within a few days after surgery. Radiographic mineral density was detected in 2 masses. Five of the neoplasms were reported as cystic; 5 were black or a dark color. Histologically, the neoplasms were classified as macrofollicular thyroid adenoma (8), thyroid cystadenoma (1), papillary thyroid adenoma (3), follicular thyroid carcinoma (5)...
