Lumps and bumps

[miasmum]

Hi, quandary time. I picked Minnie the guinea up a minute ago to put her back in her hutch and on her back leg I felt a lump. It is about the size of a baked bean, smooth, just under the skin and mobile. So I thought no panic that's just a cyst. But I sat her on my lap and gave her a thorough investigation and she seems to have a lot of lumps. Around her breast area, her tummy and tops of her legs. So what to do? She is happy, and eating. There was no pain. I take her to the vets they either say they are cysts or they are sinister. Either way I take her home and leave her be whilst she is happy and eating? What do you reckon?

Oh gosh I don't know Maybe just keep an eye on her at this stage, if she's quite happy?

You keep a very close eye on her, do daily checks and the moment you notice any change in her behaviour or if the bumps and lumps are affecting her physical well being it's off to the vet for a check up.

Good luck!
