Cytology, Biopsy, and Histopathology

Collecting tissue samples for cytology or histopathology allow a pathologist to often give a diagnosis of the type of mass or tumor your pet has. Samples can be obtained by fine needle aspirate or biopsy, where a piece of the mass is cut out. Based on what the mass appears like under the microscope, the pathologist can often give a prognosis of how the tumor will behave.

Bladder Sludge and Bladder Stones in Rabbits and Guinea Pigs

Rabbits and guinea pigs commonly present symptoms related to the urinary system. At home, the owner may notice urine collecting in the hair on the inside of the rear legs, a more pungent smell to the urine, the pet straining to urinate, or hematuria (bloody urine). After a proper physical exam and a thorough palpation of the urinary bladder, the veterinarian may identify bladder stones (a firm, oval hard mass in the bladder) or “bladder sludge” in rabbits (a bladder filled with a grainy, sand-like material). X-rays of the abdomen allow the veterinarian to identify the type of bladder disease and/or the number of stones.

Why Punishment Should be Avoided

Taking your pet to the vet can be a stressful experience, both for you and your furry friend. Pets often feel anxious due to unfamiliar environments, strange smells, and new faces. To ease this anxiety, start by familiarizing them with the car and the carrier well before the visit. Practice taking short, non-stressful car rides, and allow them to explore the carrier at home with treats or toys inside. You can also use calming sprays or treats to soothe their nerves on the day of the visit.
