TLDR A guinea pig with ovarian cysts had a uterine infection and abnormal uterus lining due to a piece of hay inside it.

A 3-year-old female guinea pig presented with a 4-month history of nonpruritic hair loss on the ventral abdomen, hyperkeratosis of the nipples, and vaginal discharge. Physical examination revealed nearly complete alopecia and masses consistent with cystic ovarian disease, which is common in female guinea pigs and often causes bilateral, nonpruritic alopecia. The study highlighted that most ovarian cysts in guinea pigs are physiologic. The case was supported by the University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Brno, Czech Republic.
