Found this lump on my Guinea pigs butt right where the tail would be if he had one. Not sure what it is or what I can do. Don’t have the money to take him to a vet right now. Pictures in the links below. What is it and is there anything I can do?

I have a dog she has a little lump on her back I noticed I was wondering if it is a cyst or something else
I would get to the vet ASAP. It may just be a benign cyst or an allergic reaction or something else very simple. On the other hand, some lumps can be cancerous and the QUICKER that you have a vet check it out, the quicker you can get treatment for your pet.
Hi, it looks more like a circular bald spot on the photo than a lump…maybe its just the angle of the picture. We really couldn’t tell you what this is…..could be anything. You would need to see a Vet for a diagnosis and treatment. Good luck.
i would be willing to guess this is a lick granuloma based on what i’ve seen on other dogs. to the vet with you, to make sure your dog doesn’t have pain somewhere on that limb. they can also prescribe a spray that will deter further licking.
what breed is he? i’d wonder if he’s getting enough mental stimulation. in some breeds, if they are not trained every day or worked in some sort of sport, they will resort to self-soothing behaviors like licking limbs. this can turn into OCD (we see this a lot in Doberman Pinschers). so: figure out the cause, make sure your dog’s mental needs are met and exceeded.
My nine-year-old female cockapoo who has two lumps in front of her to find hips in the same spot? She’s eating and drinking and going out but not acting herself energy wise?
My dog got spayed 4 days ago. There’s a hard lump in incision area in between sutures. No bleeding or drainage visible. Is it ok?
My 9yr old cat had small lumps on his rear end,when I groomed him they bled
She has been really itchy lately and when I was bathing her with oatmeal bath i noticed this lump on her tail. Any idea what it is?
a vet would really need to take a look at it to truly determine what it is.
It doesnt seem to hurt her and she is still eating though yesterday shes not eating as much.She has always eaten anything she can like bugs,spiders,pine cones you name it she will eat it.We cannot afford a vet please help.We have been giving her milk and that helps the swelling but not the lump
My 2yr old male staffy has had a lump growing on his right side along his bottom rib. I have just been monitoring it and over the last couple of days it has started to change. I have booked him in to our vet but I am so worried.
Unfortunately, it is very difficult to tell from the picture exactly what type of mass is growing on your dog. What I can tell you is going to be evaluated by your vet is the best idea and I’m very happy you have an appointment. Also, at 2 years of age it becomes less likely that the mass is some type of cancer. Likely unless it’s a parasite or cyst your vet will likely recommend removal and sending the mass to a pathologist to determine the type of mass.
Good luck! I hope everything works out for your dog!
Hi, the pictures are not visible, can you try again? Guinea pigs commonly get trichoepitheliomas which are most commonly benign and the most common spot for them is near the tail/hind end. That being said, any mass on any animal has potential to be cancerous until proven otherwise. Your vet could aspirate some cells with a needle if the mass is big enough or simply remove it which is recommended while it is small. Even though trichoepitheliomas are usually benign, they can get very large and uncomfortable or ulcerated so removal while they are small (to prevent surgical complications) is recommended.
