Question
My male guniea pig has a swollen nipple. He also has a brown "growth" on his foot. He is a mixed breed. He is crowned and albino. Been neutered. Please help me if you can.

Answer
His growth on his foot sounds like a "spurr" it is basically dead overgrown skin that can easily be cut off with toe nail clippers visit www.guinealynx.info for more information.

I am not sure about his nipple, you may want to call the vet.

Your cavy is a Pink Eyed White or PEW American Crested. There is no albinoism in cavies.
