hello, I hope you're not eating when you see this. I'm wondering if anyone could tell me if this is a cyst or a abscess and what I should do for my piggy.

Hi and welcome!

That looks really bad.
Please see a vet as an emergency as quickly as possibly. It could be a burst mammary tumor, seen that the mammary gland is badly swollen.

Which country are you in?
 
Called around, the earilest appointment I can get is on Tuesday.
 
Please can you see if anyone will see her as an emergency. A burst tumour (or whatever it is) really shouldn’t wait til Tuesday
 
It's not ideal at all, I know. But between the pandemic and it being Easter Sunday, that's the earliest, even for an emergency, that I could get here. I called about 20 different places, too. (And yes, I know there should be at least one vet that can see her today, but there's not. I don't know what else I can do about that.)
 
Definitely an appointment as soon as you can manage (I know it's not easy between the holiday weekend and the pandemic.) The mammary area looks quite swollen and obviously that open area looks painful! Hope you get some answers when she can be seen.
