between shoulder blades. it was a size of a pea but now is bigger. he dotn seem bothereed and acting norma. i will make an appt with vet. i would have taken him earlier but my dad gave me a guilt trip, saying when you take g pigs to vet tehy die, his have..

he was injeceted with some kidan flea replenlent a few months ago. before we found lump.

cat fleas arent respondign to treatment either but thats another thing!

i hope its nothing serious!. will see what she says if she needs to do somethig with it will ahve to wait til next monday. will get him checked over first
 
Its probably nothing more than a big It. my piggies are prone to these and they do eventually burst on their own. Best let the vet make an official diagnosis but it sounds like spots.
 
My piggy recently had a lump and it turned out to be an abscess. Please be careful about any treatment offered etc as guinea pigs are really sensitive. I personally have not had good experiences at the vets as the 2 times I have taken my piggies I have lost both... But please it would still not deter me from taking my pig to the vets, just I would be very selective about treatments offered. Live and learn....

Good luck to you and your piggy
