okay..
Background information.
six month old sow.
Pupped two extremely large pups.. took almost 24 hours for her to have them. Also had one live pup which she raised, it's now four weeks old.
Over the past week she had developed a bump on her belly.
it's soft, flexible, hasn't grown or diminished in size.
Owned by folks who can't and won't do the vet visit.
guinea pig appears to not be affected adversely by this lump.
It's below her nipple above the pelvic region.
I've asked for pics, haven't gotten them though I have seen the bump and my first thought was a cancer OR a hematoma of some sort. The lump didn't develop until after she was potentially bred. She seemed healthy and fine and they were hoping for a bigger litter to prevent a recurrence of the gigantic pups.
Thoughts on what it could be?
