Update On Speedy (lump On His Shoulder)

[ggreene]

Hey all,
Quick update! I've been monitoring speedy with a hawks eye (opted out of operating) strange pea size lump attached to his shoulder ... well it seems to of disappeared! A bit concerned now but he's continued to be his little fast self eating/drinking/playing as normal. I wounder what on earth it was? He's never shown the slightest bit of illness, I on the other hand did my own head in about it!

Glad its disappeared, could have been a small cyst?

Hey,
The vet said it was attached rather than floating, two vets had a look. It's really baffling me what it is/was, speedy hasn't shown any illness or anything. He's only roughly 3 months old. I have another feel this morning (speedys my profile pic can see the lump on his shoulder) I'll try to get a snap of him my sons like I prayed he would be okay now he is lol

Around the 6th November that was taken, I'll try later to get him in the same angle to properly compare. Felt originally like he broke his shoulder the way it protruded.

He looks great and seems to be developing well, filled out a bit which is good!

The fact the lump is now gone is a good thing, it could have been a little cyst that's popped and been reabsorbed. Hopefully it doesn't grow back, just keep an eye on the area :-)

Thanks he's starting to look less like a rat more of a piggy now. We have 3 boars fang is 9 1/2 months other two are brothers same age I'm sure I got his age wrong earlier more like 4 months ... they eat loads! I have a iggy which I can use part of his food for them always a bonus! The boars are fed twice a day .. breakfast/tea loads of hay too. Fresh food in the morning an dry at night.
Sticking with potty training which one of the boys has nailed other two seems to just poop everywhere :/ they like pooping in hay... is that normal?
