It is widely agreed that hyperthyroidism in guinea pigs is relatively rare and clinically underdiagnosed (Brandão et al, 2013; Künzel and Mayer, 2015; Di Geronimo and Brandão, 2020). In a study by Künzel et al, 2013, of 309 guinea pigs presented to a veterinary university in Vienna, only 4 were diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. In contrast to German literature, English publications on hyperthyroidism in guinea pigs are scarce (Di Geronimo and Brandão, 2020).
