My guinea pig Fudge has had 3 lumps on her for about 2 years now. One on her back, one on her bottom and one underneath her belly. :( When we took her to the vet, he said they didn't seem to be bothering her and he thought they were cysts. I don't think they are properly connected to her as when I touch them they move around, I don't even think she can feel it. Do you think I should take her back to the vets cos they do look big, especially the one on her bottom.

I don't know anything about lumps but they do look big on your vid. If it was me, even though she's had them a long time and they seem not to bother her, I would take her back to the vets if I was worried. Do you think they have got bigger over time?

Thanks for your reply. :) Yes I think they have grown over time, well one of them has, the one on her bottom. ;)
 
If she was my pig I would take her back to the vets even if they haven't grown. just for a check-up and to put your mind at rest
 
They do look big in relation to her body size.

Have they ever been aspirated (contents withdrawn by syringe) to check if they are cysts or solid lumps?
