Watchmans herd photos

So a bit more of a worrying turn of events. Sadly my boar Mr Brown has developed a golfball size hard mass on one side of his belly. It is the vets in the morning and fingers crossed. He is still happily chasing the girls and enjoying his fav veggies.

Christian had an egg sized abscess removed nearly 4 weeks ago. He has one dose of Bayril and 1 of Sulfatrim left now and a few more days of Metacam and then he is medicine free (Woohoooooooo!) He is really fed up of me shoving a syringe in his gob! Hope Mr Brown's isn't anything too serious @Watchman.
 
Fingers crossed it's nothing nasty! I've had way too much dealings with lumps already this year :(

He has put on about 150g this week and when he appeared yesterday evening you could see the left hand side of his stomach was swollen. Its hard to the touch so I doubt it is bloat.

But he is still eating all his fav veggies chasing the girls and sleeping in his fav hammock.
 
Oh no. So sorry to read this. Huge hugs to the gorgeous Mr Brown. Long may he continue to feel up to eating his veggies & chasing his ladies
 
Oh no! Poor you and poor Mr Brown! What you need to remember is he doesn't know it's terminal so he will just be bimbling away doing guinea pig stuff as usual. As long as you can keep him as pain free as possible he'll be OK.
 
Yes the size of the mass is to big to operate on he would not survive. Vet said I will know when it's time. Apart from losing a baby guinea after 2 days this will be my first proper guinea companion to rumble strut across the rainbow bridge.
 
Just been catching up with your lovely thread and your gorgrous herd. So sorry to hear about Mr. Brown it's such sad news. Sending you both hugs.

Sadly I have been called upon to make this decision on more occasions than I care to recall. However, I agree with your Vet that if you are in tune with your piggy then they will give you a sign when it’s time. What’s hard for us humans is interpreting that sign or accepting it for what it is. For me it’s all about quality of life, even if that life is shorter than we would have liked. Your beautiful Mr Brown doesn’t know what you do. So as long as he’s happy and pain free enjoy your time with him.
 
Such gorgeous piggies.
I am so very sorry to hear the news about Mr Brown.
I hope you can make some good memories in the time you have left
