Black Lumps

[nicola lamper]

Hi. My little piggy is two and he has always had a lump here and there,but now he has got lumps all over his back, (I shower him with small animal shampoo) and they been getting worse, now there is too many to count and when I do try it seems like it hurts him and some of the lumps are black (he's white). Is there something I can do or just go to the vets.

Could you possibly post a picture. From your description I can't tell a lot. Could be anything from cysts, to masses to infection so a picture would grately help. : )

Could you please add your county, state or (for the UK) your county/city, so we adapt any advice to what is available/possible to where you are. click on your username on the top bar, then go personal details and scroll down to location. We have got members from all over the world, and our advice can vary accordingly.

We have got a piggy savvy UK vet locator on the top bar, but can provide a link for recommended vets in other countries if wished.

I would strongly recommend to please have your piggy seen and checked by a vet.
