Titles and Authors Description
Diseases of Domestic Guinea Pigs, V. C. G. Richardson This book covers many diseases a guinea pig can get. It's a good guide guinea pig owners should have. It will and should not replace a seasoned vet, but it will give the owner some idea about symptoms, what to do, and treatment possibilities. It will also help discussing matters with the vet. Without having any knowledge, one can allow vets to do a lot of harm.
Anatomy of the Guinea Pig, Gale Cooper, Alan L. Schiller (Contributor) This book describes in detail the anatomy of the guinea pig. You will find illustrations and text describing the different areas of the guinea pigs body. It covers the external and internal anatomy. Covered systems are: skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, lymphatic, central and peripheral nervous system, respiratory, digestive, urogenital and endocrine. It also covers the ear, the eyes and orbital contents. This is not a guide that explains how to care for your pigs.
Guinea Pigs: A Complete Pet Owner's Manual, Katrin Behrend, Helgard Niewisch (Translator) A really nice book about guinea pigs. It has good information, and also nice pictures. A good resource, especially for the new guinea pig care taker.
A Grown-Up's Guide to Guinea Pigs, Dale L. Sigler This book has a little different approach: it's written for adults, not children. Which is a nice thing for a change. It has some interesting information about most aspects of having guinea pigs.
Proper Care of Guinea Pigs, Peter Gurney Another good book to have. Peter Gurney owns a lot of guinea pigs and has very good knowledge about them. The books also contains advice about health problems. Good thing for us that he likes to share.
