lump

Hey everyone, This Wednesday just gone, I decided my piggy Margie needed a bum bath and when drying her off afterwards, I noticed a lump in her lower abdomen. It’s slightly to her right around the area where her bladder is. I would say it’s slightly bigger than the size of a garden pea and...

Hey everyone! I posted about my baby Yen a few weeks back. I took her to the vets as she was squeaking when weeing, on examination my vet (cat and rabbit care clinic) found a lump on her bum. The surgery is on the 6th so not too long away now! I have two questions that I hope someone here...

I have two piggies, and we’ve noticed suddenly one of them has a lump on her rear end. We also noticed recently she has been losing weight, which is in addition even more concerning, and my partner is worried it’s related. We started giving our piggies more vitamin C water additives and she...

One of our boys, Carlo (who turns 3 next month) , was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in his two back legs April 2021 and has since been on loxicom for dogs twice daily since to help with his pain. Tonight I felt a small finger tip size bump under his front left leg which feels as if it moves...

Hey everyone! Had some bad news recently, my almost 3 year old piggie, Yen Yen, has a lump 😔 I took her to the vets as a strange bald spot appeared on her bum. She has also been struggling to wee and poo recently and squeaks when she goes toilet. The vet said he was pretty confident she would...

Got back from a week away with work today to find one of my senior pigs, Barb, had developed bald patches on both her sides behind her forelegs. Her lymph nodes both appear to be very swollen in her armpits. I can’t feel anything obvious in her jowl, or her hind limbs, but I may not be looking...

Hi, I’m hoping someone might have some advice for me. My male piggy, Dumby has a hard, pea sized lump just above his penis. When I first found it, it was higher in his lower abdomen but it can be moved down to sit at the top of his genitals - it seems to move back and forth by itself and also...

I recently got a new piggy a couple of days ago. When I went to take him out of his cage this morning, I noticed a hard lump just below his ear. It’s relatively large in my opinion and it appears to have some sort of puss in it. I called the vet and the earliest appointment they have is 8 am...

Hello, I have 4 year old boar piggy Harold who’s been losing weight over the past month or so. I may be over worrying a bit too much but any opinions or thoughts would really help me try and figure out what may be happening or reassure. So just a bit of background context, Harold’s gone through...

Hi guys, my female guinea pig was recently diagnosed with mammary inflammation, she has a swollen blue nipple which was bleeding as well. the vet said it's not a tumor and he seemed pretty confident about it.He also did an FNAC to confirm if its a tumor or not.......... So, is there anyone whose...

Hi all I was hoping for some guidance, I’ve noticed today that my boar has a small (size of a jelly bean) hard moveable lump about an inch above his testicle, near his stomach. He’s eating normally, drinking normally and as far as I’m aware, going to the toilet as normal. I’m going to call my...

Hi, I tried to book an appointment with the vet (one that I haven't been before) and when no one got back to me I phoned them up and I suppose they must be swamped, because I've got an appointment for a week from now and I'm not sure if we can wait that long. So my piggie started having more...

My guinea pig Peach (2 years old, female) recently developed a lump on her back/booty area maybe 2 weeks ago. I, of course, took her to the vet, though she seemed (and continues to seem) absolutely fine - eating, drinking, zooming, etc. The vet first attempted to drain the lump, in case...

So the Steve saga continues. I have created a different thread solely because this is not bloat related and something else entirely- tho I respect if you think it is wise to move it there. ☺️ So he has perked up thankfully and today is basically my old Steve boi🥳 however I still decided to...

Hello. This is extremely hard to write, but my little baby Pumpkin went in for a vet recheck today (she was not eating due to having a bad reaction to Baytril, but she's eating now) and the vet felt a mass on her abdomen. We aren't exactly sure of the location, but the assistant told us it was...

hello, i’m fairly new to owning piggies, i got my first one almost a year ago. i currently have 3 piggies but about 3 weeks ago i had 4. one of my pigs died suddenly, and i was unaware that a necropsy was a thing done for piggies, otherwise i would have paid for that procedure for her. i bring...

Hi everyone, Yesterday, my partner was giving our long haired boys a hair cut (and they hate it anyway) but one of them was squealing as if we were really hurting him. Didn’t think anything of it as they are normally an absolute nightmare when it comes to grooming, but as my partner was...

Hey everyone, I’m panicking right now :( Henry has seemed fine, eating and drinking like normal, and this morning I noticed that he has a massive lump like a double chin, it’s full of liquid (feels like a water balloon or something) and he’s struggling to get his poops out. My regular vets is...

I recently adopted a baby guinea (5 weeks old) I've had him for a week now and just this morning I noticed that he has a decent sized lump behind his ear. It's firm. And theres some white crusty stuff around it I'll post pics but it was hard for him to stand still. Obviously I'm going to...

Hi I’m looking for opinions as my guinea pig Bean has got a lump on the bottom of her back just above her bum. When I touch it she moves away but doesnt squeal. She’s eating and drinking fine, I only found the lump last night and ever since then she’s been very feisty with my other Guinea pig...
