New Born Pup
Hi all.
One of our piggies, Nandy, has a number of lumps and just wondering whether other people have had similar experiences.
Nandy is 3 years old (not spayed, lives with her sister and a neutered boar). We first noticed a tiny lump on her lower spine, which was diagnosed as a cyst and has never changed size. In February of this year we found a slightly different type of lump on her chest, this one is wider but flatter and more under the skin. Whilst at the vets, the vet noted a lump under one of her armpits. Both of these had samples sent to the lab which came back as nothing unusual (but cannot be 100% certain unfortunately). Roll on a few months and she now has two little pimple like lumps above one nipple, a similar lymph node type lump in her neck and one in her groin. Vet has said to monitor for now but pointless taking more samples.
We try and monitor them all weekly and they seem to fluctuate, possibly with her season, but it's her hard to tell as they are small and under the skin so you never get exact measurements.
Has anyone else had lumpy pigs that couldn't be explained or did you get some answers and what were they?
Thanks in advance.
