Hi, I got my guinea pig out today and noticed it had a bump on its throat, at first I thought it was a burr from the hay at first but it turned out to be something like ive never seen before.

There is a picture the best i could take it , It is hard to keep the guinea pig still, this guinea pig doesn't mind laying on its back and it was still hard to get a snapshot.
I am calling the vet right now for an appointment but i just wanted a second opinion of people who may have seen this type of injury.
I have 2 guinea pigs and only this one has the bump, There is also another symptom I noticed ,im not sure since I was never the guinea pig medical person when I was with my ex but it appears that her nipples are abnormally larger than the other guinea pigs. She has never given birth and it looks like they have increased in size over the past few days. I'm just putting this out there since I don't really know if this is alarming.
The guinea pig with the bump is around 3-4 years old . If you have any other questions I will try my best to answer them but I have very limited medical knowledge. I have had guinea pigs in the past with abscesses on their throat but never this.
