Does Anyone Know What This Could Be Please?

I have just felt a little lump under his skin just off his nipple.. i can move it. It does not seem to bother him am a little worried anyone think this is a trip to vets? Thanks xx

I would have any lump checked by your vet to be on the safe side, especially so close to the nipple. As it is loose under the skin, it is more likely just a fatty lump or a sebaceous cyst, but you want to make sure of that!

A vet check would be recommended in this case

I agree to get it checked, looks like a sebaceous cyst possibly.

It looks painful, and it's a beautiful piggy, the rest of the coat is quite lovely

Odd. I concur with the others. To be safe a vet check is best, or it could be monitored?

Little update On sooty Went to The vet.. he really didnt like her haha its not a cyst.. she tried to see if anything came out of it, so she said i could pay to have tests done (£52 worth every penny in my eyes) or monitor it.. she says the swab she tuck looked oily so it could just be fatty and if the case nothing would been to be done.. he got his own back on her by peeing on her scales haha made me chuckle.. Hope to here good news Next week!

Wishing you good luck for the results. My lacey went to vets once and managed to do three massive separate wees all over vet lol. I'm terrible I found it hilarious! I blame the generous cucumber I put in carrier to prevent dehydration on route
