Poor Holly has just recovered from a UTI.
Tonight while giving her some Fibreplex I felt a Lump behind her right ear.
Vet open Saturday morning so hopefully will get an appointment.2017-12-05_14-23-32_455.webp
Eating as well as usual so hope it's nothing sinister.
 
Hi, hope it's not serious. My piggy George has a lump behind his ear too, kind of on his shoulder. I noticed it about 3 weeks ago, the vet is not sure what it is. So we are busy monitoring it. Sending you hugs. xx

Just back from the Vets where they tried to aspirate the lump. Didn’t get much out of it - phoned me back to say they thought they’d only managed to get some fat and maybe hadn’t gone in deep enough!
No antibiotics given as she’s just had two lots for a UTI.
Just to monitor it as you were also told!
Hope George’s lump clear up. Xx
 
Oh Janice, sending you and Holly hugs, hope it sorts itself out soon.
These piggys, if it's not one thing it's another!
 
Janice only just caught up with this thread! Poor Holly and poor you. Betsy has two lumps one on her left shoulder and another in her arm pit the vet doesn't think they are anything sinister and they haven't grown any and haven't changed at all. She is still her normal happy self bimbling away. I check them as part of her weekly check. Christian has a lump too. His is where one of his plums would be if he hadn't visited the plum fairy and it is about an inch in diameter. He's had it for a few months and it's not bothering him at all and hasn't changed. He is still a happy and cheeky boy. I check this as part of his weekly check too. I guess some piggies are just prone to being lumpy!
