Abstract
While thyroid disease is generally uncommon in rabbits and rodents, it is most frequently diagnosed in guinea pigs. Particularly, hyperthyroidism and thyroid neoplasms are diagnosed regularly in this species, while thyroid neoplasia is the most common thyroid disorder found in other rodents. Thyroid disease appears to be rare in rabbits, though modalities to reliably diagnose different disorders like hypothyroidism are currently lacking.
