Can You You Help Me Identify This?

[agnes&margocham]

I have two female piggys, and I have only noticed that my pigs have some kind of lump in their armpits (only way I can describe where it is). I found it first on Margo my smallest pig, but my husband checked our other piggy Agnes, and she has the same. I have had female piggys before but when I was a child so probably didn't notice or pay any attention. When I felt it on Margo, she nearly took my fingers and face off. I hope I haven't hurt her. I didn't squeeze it or anything, was just to establish if it was attached to anything. I hope you can help me...

You may want to get them checked by a vet. It sounds like a swollen lymph node, but without seeing and feeling it, it is impossible to say for us.
Which country are you in?

I agree with it sounds like a lymphatic problem,
The lymphatic system has nodes in varieous places , and there job is to filter toxins / bacteria Ect that are present in to blood
you may have been to the doctor's, and he has put his finger on you neck, hie is checking for swellings , but that is just an indicator
of a problem .
If I were you first I would go to you vet to comfirm it is in fact a limph swelling or something other problem.

If it is a lymph swelling then you will need to monitor your pig closely , it could simply be a minor infection , or it could be something
more troublesome .
