! - Help/ Advice needed! Bump/Lump on guineapig back!

D

Hi everyone, it's my first post on here!

I have an issue with my guinea pig and am curious to know if anyone had a familiar issue like this with their guinea pig?

Yesterday I had noticed a bump/lump on my guineapig's back. When touching it, my guineapig seemed very irritated by it.
He is eating & drinking well and I will carry on observing the bump every day in case it gets bigger etc...

I also do plan on taking him to the vets but in the meantime would like to know if anyone could know what it could possibly be or even had the same with their guinea pig.

Thanks,
Tasha & Bob

Lumps can be a variety of things but they all need a hands on vet check for diagnosis, we couldn’t say what it is.
If it is irritating him then he may well be in pain, so do please get him seen as soon as possible.
