Question
Hey there

I came home from lunch today to find my guinea pig with blood all over her snout, and front paws!

I washed her off, took her to the vet, and got her checked out.
She bled a little bit on the drive to the vet, but nothing too major... just a few drops..

They said it could be something got inhaled that cause it to bleed, or it could be a tumor up there causing it.
Has anyone ever ran into this? I'm getting a little worried that it might be some sort of tumor or something....

Also, I found this big weird squishy bump near her bum... it doesn't hurt her or anything, but it;s just there... the vet didn't say anything about it, but maybe she didn't notice it?

thanks in advance

Answer
Hello,
I think you should take your guinea to the vet again and get it checked out, it could just be something minor but then again it could be sometinhg bad.
Sorry that I cannot help you with this question I am not a vet.
Best wishes to you and your guinea
