Adult Guinea Pig
I noticed that Fizz had a lump!I had to take her to vet for bloat so I asked the vet what it could be?
It was quite big,but not weeping! The vet didn't want to operate because there was no need as it was OK as it was!
Well I then noticed that it had grown on Thurs/Friday last week.But Saturday morning it had burst,so phoned my friend (she is a veterinary nurse) so I went over with Fizz to show Julie! We cleaned it and covered it with cream and a plaster! It was horrible and it smelt! I separated Fizz from Boris and Piglet so she could have some peace!She is in the shed for now.I cleaned it again on Sunday and it was looking OK.Julie was pleased with it too.I felt guilty for not taking Fizz to the vets but Julie just said that the vet would only do want we had done!Anyway I took Fizz to the vet on Monday (yesterday) Vet said to looked OK and gave me some Baytril given daily! And bathe the wound twice a day,it does look alot better! O0 So we just have to wait and see if it heals,vet doesn't really want to operate!
