It is on her back near her hip area... took me a few mins to locate it again today! Not red, icky or anything but when I touched it - to see if she would react - she did - I did do it a few times... will monitor it then make an appointment just to get it checked out #mysteryWhere abouts on her is this? Generally little lumps can be fairly benign, although a vet appointment won't do any harm. Providing there's no growth, it's not in an essential area and it doesnt feel hot or look icky, its likely to be something harmless
Me too.... she has been through enough with losing her sister recently and now getting used to a new cage mate...Hope it's nothing to concerning!
Hi I see you are in Nottinghamshire - just wondered what vets you use? The closest to me that i had to to use for Gladys was the Vets for Pets inside Pets and Home and the 2 vets I saw were very good but I don't have a regular vet and none listed in the section on here for Nottingham...Hope it's nothing to concerning!
Don’t know how close it is to you but have you tried Arnold & Carlton Vets? I believe they are exotic. Also there’s an Ark vets in Chilwell, not sure if they’re exotic as the Ark I go to is but it might be owned by a different chain. Hope that’s at least a little helpfulHi I see you are in Nottinghamshire - just wondered what vets you use?

Thanks. I have just been online and spotted the Arnold & Carlton one says they are exotic so I will give them a call tomorrow. There are plenty of vets around me but you never know how much they know about piggies...I will look at the Ark one too - Thanks @Little OnesDon’t know how close it is to you but have you tried Arnold & Carlton Vets?

I will xHope this proves to be nothing serious.

Admittedly the vet wasn't a Cavy savvy one and I do have the details for one that is about an hour's drive away but I will just monitor it and see how we go. Any change at all and she will go and see someone who knows there stuff!That must be so frustrating when you try to do everything a caring and responsible owner should.

Thanks.. I will have a look at how far they are from me.... the closer the better really..Craig at Chine House is excellent if you do need a knowledgeable vet. It's north Leicestershire so depending on your location in Nottingham it shouldn't take too long to get to
