Urgent: Huge Bump On Guinea Pig

[Wes]

Hello, I have 3 guinea pigs and one of them just grew a giant bump, I’ve removed it once already and she did not show any sign of pain or stress, after removing most of what was inside it came back a month later, can anyone tell me what the bump is and what I should do

To me, it looks like a cebaceous cyst, but I'd take the piggy to the vet to make sure it's not something serious and to evaluate if treatment may be needed to prevent infections, etc.

I'm not sure what it is. But a trip to vets would really help. Some piggies get lumps and are treated several ways. Including removeral.

I'm in agreement with @RosieMaia it looks like a cebaceous cyst. A trip to the vets is in order to check for anything more sinister and to get any treatment needed. We are not allowed to diagnose from a picture only to give advice.

Definitely looks like a subatious syst, safest bet is to get a vet to have a look

Hi! Please see a vet. This looks like a sebaceaous cyst that is refilling and could be infected. It may need to be removed, depending on what your vet says upon an examination.
