I have found a lump on Biscuit this morning, its on his side. I took him into work and hes going in on Tuesday to have it removed. It isnt an absces so thats a good thing, the vet wants to remove it before it gets bigger and Biscuit is really well at the moment and is at a good weight. I will be working at the vets while its being done, so I shall be on tender hooks!

Duke's had lumps and abscess' removed and all the ops went well, give him his meds and make sure he's eating and drinking if not start with critical care and syringe him liquids.

Re: Biscuit has a lump UPDATE
Just picked Biscuit up from the vets and its not good news :'( He had one lump on the side and another one on his tummy, when they started to take the one from his tummy they found another one that had just stared to grow. The vet said that she didnt like the look of them and they are not fatty lumps, as when she removed them they where quite hard to cut into. She thinks they are some sort of growth. I have put him in an indoor cage on his own with a heat pad andhe went staight to his veg bowl so at least hes eating!
Has any one had this with their guinea pig and if so did lumps come back, he is now really 3 and I dont really want to let him go through this again! As some of you know that I might have to give up my gps when I move into a flat, but I am lucky as the vet that did his op will have them.

I'm so sorry the news is not good, but very pleased Biscuit is eating.
Scarby had CA liver last May. The tumour was 200g and the size of a small orange. A lobe of liver was removed too. Scarby has a check up every couple of months and the CA has not returned.
Love to you and Biscuit xx
