Guinea pig has a growth or tumor

Question
I recently rescued 2 pigs when a neighbor moved away and left them in her garage. One of the pigs has a growth or tumor on the side of her neck between her neck and front leg, it is about the size of a small plum and feels soft like it is filled with liquid, her hair is grown over the growth and doesn't appear to be uncomfortable or in pain. Do you have any ideas about what I may be dealing with here? I can send pictures of it if it would be helpful but there is know way to add any attachments with this e-mail, I would appreciate any helpful information you might beable to share. Thanks, Laura

Answer
Hi laura

You are very kind to of rescued those guinea pigs as for this growth one of my rabbits has actualy had something like this before but it went away and it came back and the rabbit did die
as for guinea pigs i would suggest maybe going to the vet or going to a local petshop for osme extra advice otherwise ther is not much you can do when my rabbit got it i put some small mammal cream and it helped it go down but otherwise im not so sure i cant find anything on it on the internet

Laura I wish you the best Good luck with the guinea pig if there is no improvment send me another question and if there is i woul love to hear about it good luck
