Bump

[Opiggy]

While I was snuggling my piggy I noticed a small bum behind his ear I took a look it was in the hairless spot right behind his ear it’s not big it just looks like a little mole. Is this anything I need to worry about?

Without seeing it and getting hands on we can't really unfortunately. Best get him to the vet for a check up

I agree.
Hopefully it’s nothing serious but it’s better to be sure

 

[Opiggy]

Should I send a picture

 

[Wheekallweek]

You can if you'd like to, but we unfortunately can't diagnose as we're not vets.

Here is an image does this help?

I know nothing about guinea pig health, but that bump looks suspicious to me. I'd recommend getting it checked out by a vet if you're concerned.
@Piggies&buns is a knowledgeable member, maybe she can help identify this mystery bump.

Lumps and bumps can be a multitude of things - harmless fatty lumps, cysts or abscesses being the most common and are rather unidentifiable without a hands on check. Vets check for things like how it feels and it’s mobility (ie whether it’s attached) - all things we can’t do.

The best thing is to always see a vet for any lump which concerns you, particularly see a vet promptly if the lump grows rapidly

Alright, thank you!

Hope you can see a vet soon and it’s nothing serious
