AnswerHi alexis,
Your guinea pigs lump may be abscesses, fatty limpomas, cysts, or a tumor. Examine your guinea pig and see a vet for an evaluation.
Your vet will perform a thorough visual examination. He/she may also recommend:
A fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB)
A wedge biopsy (more material collected, more accuracy)
Surgical removal
Cleaning and installation of a drain (abscess)
Cavy-safe antibiotics (abscess)
