Junior Guinea Pig
Hi,
I recently felt a lump on one of my pigs just under her front legs, quite small but sold. I took her to the vet and she said the position in the skin surface may suggest a basal type. However, she said that she couldn't tell from the examination whether it was benign or malignant. The vet has suggested we have it removed under anaesthetic.
It is only a couple of months since I lost one of my pigs to a suspect tumour and I always felt she got worse after we put her under to get it investigated.
I am not sure what to do as the pig looks healthy and is in no visible discomfort but I need to make a decision soon. What do people think?
