AnnieP Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Oh dear. Not sure, as I've never had Guinea Pigs. Could it be an abscess or tooth problem? Sounds like a trip to the vets might be the best option here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Hi, How is it going? What did the vet say? Guinea pigs seem quite prone to lumps, some can be tumours, others are harmless sebaceous cysts that are easily removed and the guinea recovers quite well if he/she is healthy to start with... I hope all goes well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prongs Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Hiya! Hope your guinea pig has got over it's lump! My guinea pig formed one of these lumps and after a trip to the vet we were told is was an abscess! It would be advisible to take a trip yourself (if you haven't already gone) they can subscribe the best treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 This reply is old I know but thought I would reply anyway in case anyone else has simialr problems. guinea Pig teeth are constantly growing and they need to graze/eat constantly to keep them down.The lump could be due to teeth rubbing the cheek and can be serious as if the Guinea wont eat, they can go down hill very quickly. At first sign of trouble go to a good vet who knows about Piggies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
