Super Furry Animal Paw Hold Needed...one of my guinea-pigs has a huge lump!

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

My GP8 , fine yesterday breakfast , then noticed yesterday evening she had a huge lump under her chin .
She's one of those lumpy little hogs anyway but the other ones are slow growing and firm . (so likely fatty lumps)

DD said "Can I have a pig to help with my homework"? so I scooped up GP8 and saw she had a huge swelling under her chin(s) .

The speed of it suggests an abscess but I cannot for the life of my see a wound. She eating and poohing happily but of course I'm worried about this interfereing with her breathing . She slept ok, all snuggled on a folded up towel.

So off to the Vets tonight , hopefully have the blighter lanced (if it is an abscess. If it isn't then that's a road I don't think I want to think about wandering down)
Piggie is 4yo.

Aww! Good luck with your piggy at the vet tonight. Hopefully it'll be just lancing and then antibiotics, which are always fun to administer!

Bye Bye GP8 .
