My Big Personality Pig Carlton Has Been Given Some News Today

[eileen]

I observed had some swellings ,lumps in his groin and abdomen.ive taken him to see a cavy vet and it has been suggested he has fatty lumps and a mammory tumour,which the vet feels needs to be left alone.ive decided to get a second opinion as i need to be certain of no/some treatment.it just makes me feel sad,he has brought so much joy,i seem to have lost 2 boars that i dearly loved,and now another is uncertain.he is well in himself,but it just seems hard all the lovely male pigs have been unwell.

Sending hugs to you and Carlton. I am so sorry that he is not well. If a second opinion will help you decide what to do for the best then you should get one. I hope he can go on bringing you joy for a long .time yet, if he seems well and is not suffering. Well done for spotting the problem early.
