Help Please Guinea Pig Lump Above Groin

[Alyssas123]

Hi I was wondering if anyone knew what this lump on my Guinea's belly is I just noticed it when I picked him up he's male and about a year old

Please see a vet; any lump needs to be seen, felt and if necessary have a biopsy for a proper diagnosis. All we can do online is guess.

Thank You

That needs to be definitely seen by a vet! Wishing you all the best!

Lumps can range from harmless fatty lumps and sebacious cysts, to other varieties of cysts, abscesses, benign and malign tumors and lymphoma (cancer of the lymph nodes, which seems to become more common in the last years).

I waited two days and the lump is gone do you think it still needs to be seen ?

Yes just to be on the safe side.

(That's what I would do)

Personally, I would have it still seen, or at least keep a daily eye on the area and see a vet as soon as I notice a change again.
