Growth on bottom

[Rae-piggy owner]

Hi everyone,

Going to visit a vet ASAP on this one. But was just wondering if anyone might have an idea about what this is?

Both my boars have what looks like a growth coming out of their bottoms. Sorry if this has been asked on past posts. Is this impaction? Think some dirt may have got up there. They are fine in themselves and going to toilet normally.

Thanks for your thoughts. x

Here is a link for various lumps; it is good that you are having your piggy seen by a vet, only he will be able to give you a diagnosis.

Was still a bit worried so looked at past posts and found a topic about cauliflower willy! I think that might be what my boars have! Think will still go to vets, just hope they might think it's that as well! They are nearly 6 months old, so would make sense!

Good luck at the vets, hope everything goes well.

You are always welcome to post pictures on here; the clearer the better, of course! We can't and won't replace a vet visit, but we may be able to clear up some issues.

It's probably something normal, due to the fact that they have both developed whatever it is, at the same time! Why not pop a photo on here, and someone will be able to tell you if its anything to worry about

Thank you for all your replies. Feel a bit silly with my posts now, as 99 % sure it is the cauliflower issue! As checked them this evening and not as pronounced! Will post photos if get concerned again, just looked so bad! So relieved, will just make sure that I bathe them more regularly. x
