guinea pig 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 doesnt 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 can send attachments but you can email me a pic at jesusguitarking@hotmail.com.

It may take me a day or two to answer though!

I tend to think you are dealing with an abcess which is quite easy to treat and I recommend a trip to the vet to have it drained. Let me take a look and I will try to confirm my suspicions.
