Junior Guinea Pig
Hello
I normally do a body check at least once a week on my piggies to check for lumps etc. Unfortunately today I did find a small lump on my 5 year old piggies neck. It is around the size of a pea and is free moving. I called the vet and got an appointment same day. She was diagnosed with having inflamed lymph nodes. Currently I am giving antibiotics and going back in 10 days to see how everything is going. My question is if anybody else has experience with this. Did antibiotics help your piggy? Is there anything else I can do to help her asides from keeping fresh bedding and checking to ensure she is still eating, drinking, etc.? I’d hate for this to come down to surgery. I’m a worried pig mom. Any advice or sharing experience is helpful. Thank you so much
