The other day I noticed a large growth on the side of my little guinea pigs neck. It was not there a few weeks ago. We went to the Vet Monday and he looked at it. Thought maybe it might be an abcess. Little Job was left there and the doc lanced it. Out popped a large tumor! Well he was stitched up on the inside and then they glued his skin on the outside.

I have medicine to give him 2 times a day and yogurt 2 times a day. He is eating but doesn’t seem too spry today.
Hope all is well with him. He is about 5 years old.

You can see pictures of him and my Yorkie, his best friend, in my photo albums.

If anyone has any experience with guinea pigs and can offer any advise, please feel free to comment.

Love it

  I hope all is well with that guy. He is so cute and cuddly, esp. he gets along so well with your dog. It is heart broken to see our baby get sick.
  
  I will pray to St. Francis - patron saint of animal.
