Question
Hi:
My Guinea Pig has a tumor on her lower jaw. It grew very fast out of no where and now is the size of a small lemon. she's  not eating much now. Any ideas?

Answer
You will need to take her to a vet to get looked at to see if it can be removed or if not what you can do to help her out. You will need to hand feed your guinea pig since she's not eating much. You will need to buy a syringe and mash the food up with warm milk or water and slowly feed it to her. Here is a website that explains more about hand feeding as well as other diseases. http://guinealynx.com/handfeeding.html
