Junior Guinea Pig
Hey everyone! Had some bad news recently, my almost 3 year old piggie, Yen Yen, has a lump ![Pensive face :pensive: 😔](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f614.png)
I took her to the vets as a strange bald spot appeared on her bum. She has also been struggling to wee and poo recently and squeaks when she goes toilet.
The vet said he was pretty confident she would be okay, as she’s young and overall felt very healthy to him. He doesn’t know what kind of lump it is, but it’s pretty small atm so surgery is better to get out the way as if it gets bigger it will infect her bladder etc and surgery will be more difficult.
Of course however, I can’t help but worry. She’s very important to me, and the surgery isn’t until the 6th December![Pensive face :pensive: 😔](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f614.png)
I was wondering if anyone else has been through this? He actually said someone at the same vets (cat and rabbit care clinic Northampton) was going for the same procedure too! I’m nervous as it’s my first time ever that my pigs will also be separated (they were born together). What can I do to keep my lonely piggie calm too? Thank you!
