Area of Science:

Veterinary Medicine
Small Mammal Care
Pharmacology

Background:

Increasing popularity of rodents as companion animals in the United States.
Existing veterinary knowledge for rodents largely stems from laboratory animal medicine.
Need for species-specific information on pet rodent care.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe variations in medication delivery methods for different rodent species.
To outline the risks associated with antibiotic usage in pet rodents.
To provide a comprehensive formulary for treating pet rodents.

Main Methods:

Review of existing literature on rodent pharmacology and drug administration.
Analysis of species-specific anatomical and physiological differences impacting medication delivery.
Compilation of a formulary based on available evidence and expert consensus.

Main Results:

Significant variations exist in optimal medication administration routes across rodent species.
Antibiotic use carries specific risks, including dysbiosis and toxicity, which differ by species.
A detailed formulary categorizing drugs, dosages, and administration methods for common pet rodents is presented.

Conclusions:

Tailored approaches to medication delivery are crucial for effective and safe treatment of pet rodents.
Understanding species-specific risks of antibiotics is essential for minimizing adverse effects.
The provided formulary serves as a valuable resource for veterinarians and owners of pet rodents.
