Hi. I hope I am posting correctly on this site since it is my first time here and I created this acc since I've ran into a problem I can't identify. I've had my guinea pig Butternut for about a year and half now and he's been perfectly healthy and well but today when he had his playtime out the cage and I was holding him, I ran my hand down his back and felt a bump.
I attached images the best I could take cause I couldn't really see them that well with his hair, they are red bump scab like things though. I tried to research and I can't tell if it's a cyst, dry skin, scab, tumor, mites or etc. he has about 3 of them I've found. 2 medium big ones on his back and 1 small one near his ear/higher back like on his head. I really tried on the photos. If I can I will cut his hair to take better ones. Any suggestions would be nice thank you!
