Hi all. I've had my guinea pigs for over a year. My little piggy Harry is constantly poorly with cheat infections and is allergic to saw dust. He is currently on antibiotics for an eye infection and is due at the vets on Monday. they get cleaned out daily. I've noticed two little lump type things on his underbelly and just don't know what it is. He isn't bothered when you touch it. Juat need to know if I should book an emerge cy appointment or it's ok to wait till Monday. I'll attach a photo. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks on advance

Do you mean the two towards the top with the baldness around them? Don't worry, those are just his nipples

Yeh! Wow. Thankyou! How come they have only just come out. They've never been visible before Now? x
Hi!
Please take a deep breath and don't worry!
Boars have nipples, too, just like human men! There is nothing wrong with yours.
Please compare with the picture in our sexing guide: Sexing Guide

As a pretty useful rule of thumb for new owners: it you have two things that are the same on each side of the body, then it is something normal. If you have something that is not symmetrical, then it is most likely not right.
