I am very concerned

Hello,
I was weighing Ginger the other day, when I felt a small lump on her. It is about an inch away from her left armpit, and it is about th size of a Canadian dollar. I don't know if it is an ulcer or something, or just an organ. I would show a picture, but there is no point because it is not noticabe from the outside. We are taking her to the vet sometime this week, along with Snap for her checkup, I am hoping it is nothing serious. Anybody know what it is?

Does it feel attached or can you slightly move it?

it could be any number of things. You are doing the right thing by taking your piggie to the vet. If it is a skin lump try to get them to take a sample for analysis.

You can kind of wriggle it around gently with your fingers, and it feels like it is attatched to something else in her. She doesn't feel any pain when I touch it.

Good luck at the vet! There can be lots of reasons for lumps... my pig Linney had a large, squishy lump on her lower back above the grease gland... it turned out the be a sebaceous gland that had abscessed and it had to be treated surgically, but she made a full recovery!
