Lumps on Tummy?

I just got a new piggy. Her previous owner was planning on taking her to the vet in January. I don't exactly have money for that unless it is absolutely necessary.

Holly (new piggles) has these dime sized lumps in her tummy. She is 3 1/2 years old. Is this something to be concerned about? What could they possibly be? Should I go to the vet? Any information is great.

Re: Lumps on Tummy?

They could be any number of things.

Coming to mind are mammary tumors, fatty deposits, ovarian cysts, or abcesses. Holly should be taken to the vet to check out any of these options. I would say that any lumps, bumps, bruises, scratches, or other abnormalities are something that should be a concern.
