Guinea pig Injury.

I’m afraid we can’t know - it could be a bite from a cagemate, a cyst or abscess which has burst or evidence of parasites.
Please do keep the area clean with saline and seek vet advice.

I hope your piggy is ok

Hi

It looks like a potentially burst cyst to me?

Please disinfect with saline solution (you can make it at home, see link below) and have it vet checked as an non-emergency during regular hours. We can only guess but no replace a hands-on vet check. Burst cysts can refill and become infected.
