New Born Pup
Hi all, my Bradley is 5 and a half years old and has recently developed a smallish (thumb tip size) unattached tumour on his nipple/mammary gland. It has been checked by my vet (who is an exotics vet, knows guinea pigs well and is very experienced). We discussed the many options of operating to remove, monitoring, choosing not to. He of course advised that it would be best if it is removed and though I want to do what’s best for my piggy, I’m just not feeling right about putting him through a surgery- especially the anesthesia and the recovery worries me too as he’s in his 5th year. He’s just a little geriatric and it’s a tough decision. Bradley is very healthy, eats great, has great energy and spunk, loves his “paddock” as I call the cage and overall is a very well pig. So maybe I should go ahead with the surgery? Anyway I would appreciate your thoughts in this community. Thank you so much. Appreciate the read and any feedback.
