Lump on side

[Aisling]

Hello everyone,
I have recently noticed a lump on my 5 year old sows side. She is eating and drinking fine and hasn't lost any fur in the area. Should I be worried?

Please have your piggy seen by a vet. Lumps can be a variety of things but all require hands on check to determine what, if any, treatment is needed.
If it is very fast growing then it needs to be seen urgently.

Hi

I am very sorry. Please have any fast growing lumps seen promptly, ideally within 24 hours.

I hope all goes well at the vets. Please keep us updated x

I took her to the vet a few days ago and sadly it's lymphoma . The vet told us to try antibiotics to reduce the swelling of the lymph nodes, so hopefully those will make her a bit more comfortable. Thankfully she still doesn't seem to be in pain and hopefully it stays that way.

Aw I’m so sorry for the sad update I’ve lost two piggies to lymphoma. Make memories everyday, take lots of photos and be prepared to say goodbye when she’s had enough (((hugs))) x

I’m so sorry you’ve had this diagnosis. I hope she has lots more happy days with you
