lump

Hi, I tried to book an appointment with the vet (one that I haven't been before) and when no one got back to me I phoned them up and I suppose they must be swamped, because I've got an appointment for a week from now and I'm not sure if we can wait that long. So my piggie started having more...

My guinea pig Peach (2 years old, female) recently developed a lump on her back/booty area maybe 2 weeks ago. I, of course, took her to the vet, though she seemed (and continues to seem) absolutely fine - eating, drinking, zooming, etc. The vet first attempted to drain the lump, in case...

So the Steve saga continues. I have created a different thread solely because this is not bloat related and something else entirely- tho I respect if you think it is wise to move it there. ☺️ So he has perked up thankfully and today is basically my old Steve boi🥳 however I still decided to...

Hello. This is extremely hard to write, but my little baby Pumpkin went in for a vet recheck today (she was not eating due to having a bad reaction to Baytril, but she's eating now) and the vet felt a mass on her abdomen. We aren't exactly sure of the location, but the assistant told us it was...

hello, i’m fairly new to owning piggies, i got my first one almost a year ago. i currently have 3 piggies but about 3 weeks ago i had 4. one of my pigs died suddenly, and i was unaware that a necropsy was a thing done for piggies, otherwise i would have paid for that procedure for her. i bring...

Hi everyone, Yesterday, my partner was giving our long haired boys a hair cut (and they hate it anyway) but one of them was squealing as if we were really hurting him. Didn’t think anything of it as they are normally an absolute nightmare when it comes to grooming, but as my partner was...

Hey everyone, I’m panicking right now :( Henry has seemed fine, eating and drinking like normal, and this morning I noticed that he has a massive lump like a double chin, it’s full of liquid (feels like a water balloon or something) and he’s struggling to get his poops out. My regular vets is...

I recently adopted a baby guinea (5 weeks old) I've had him for a week now and just this morning I noticed that he has a decent sized lump behind his ear. It's firm. And theres some white crusty stuff around it I'll post pics but it was hard for him to stand still. Obviously I'm going to...

Hi I’m looking for opinions as my guinea pig Bean has got a lump on the bottom of her back just above her bum. When I touch it she moves away but doesnt squeal. She’s eating and drinking fine, I only found the lump last night and ever since then she’s been very feisty with my other Guinea pig...

My guinea pig has had this large lump on her far body on the side of her back and we are just wondering what this is, we think it might be a harmless cyst or maybe a tumour. We’ve had her for almost 6 years and she’s never been sick, she’s never seemed to be in pain and hasn’t lost her appetite...

I found this lump on my guinea pigs ear and panicked would anyone know what it is?

I noticed this weird thing in my guinea pigs fur this morning and thought it was just goop in his hair. At closer examination, the skin around it is raised almost like a lump and it seems it split open and now this hard white goop is coming out of it that has dried. Does anyone know what it is?

Hi there! My beautiful 2.5 year old little lady pig, Sawyer, has a lump the size of a golf ball (7.5 cm by 9.5 cm) on her side by her front leg. I first noticed it on February 2nd, but because I had been on holidays I’m really not sure when it first showed up. On February 3rd we went to the...

Hi there, My 4yo boar Thunder has 2 peasized lumps under his nipple, next to/attached to a larger softer lump. They haven't grown significantly in the past 5 weeks but I don't know the status before that as my parents had him for a couple of months before Christmas while I moved. The vet...

Hi all, when picking up my youngest piggie today (he's 10 months) I noticed a hard rounded end lump or bone,I'm not sure which, in between his front legs, I can't feel one on my older pig, however he has quite a bit more fat than my little one. The lump feels as though it is long and curved at...

Hi forummers! This is my first post here although I have frequently benefitted from the shared knowledge on this site! Today I adopted a 2.5 year old rex called Luna from a family where the children had lost interest in their GPs and so they were becoming an burden for a hardworking mum. Luna...

Hello I normally do a body check at least once a week on my piggies to check for lumps etc. Unfortunately today I did find a small lump on my 5 year old piggies neck. It is around the size of a pea and is free moving. I called the vet and got an appointment same day. She was diagnosed with...

I’d been noticing a strange brown liquid coming from Peppa. At this point I hadn’t been sure where it was coming from as there wasn’t anything there that I could tell from. It had only happened twice until tonight it happened again and I decided to look at the source. It was coming from her...

So when I picked up my guinea pig, Sabrina, I noticed that she had a weird lump (sort of between her nipples) when I pushed on it, it moved. It was about the size of a penny and very firm. My first instinct was to squeeze it a little to see if it hurt (it didn’t) or was something that would just...

Hello! This is my first time posting here, I really need an opinion on what to do. I have a 4 1/2-5 year old guinea pig named Jasper. I've had her for about four years now with no health concerns or scares. I handle her pretty frequently, and within a few days she developed a lump on her right...
