took Fizzi to the vets but she was uncertain Fizzi has a small skin tag on her nose it has little peaks not rounded it doesn't bother her.Any ideas what it could be!Vet thought it may be due to mites!
 
It isnt a tick is it? My MIL thought her dog had a wart, it turned out to be a tick and if my dogs have been in a field (we live near loads of open fields) they can pick up ticks too! Sounds unlikely cause I'm not sure there is anywhere that a piggie could pick up a tick but just an idea cause you never know!

Could you show us a picture? It would give us a much better idea of what it is/ could be. :)

Sorry not wonderful but you can just see the spike of skin tag.
 
Photo isn't brilliant but I can see what you mean. Have you taken her to a rodentologist? I don't think it is anything to worry about, but you do need to get it checked out with someone who is experienced/ knowledgeable with guineas. Sorry can't be more help. :)
