Unfortunately, this is another medical thread, but for my other girl Daisy.
While checking her over for issues (those of you who don't know, my other girl had a fungus question mark hanging over her, so I was checking Daisy for signs), I came across a very small, soft, moveable lump, adjacent to the base of her spine under her skin. No visible signs on top of the skin, and a picture would be pointless because it doesn't protrude much at all. I actually mistook it for her spine until I realised it was soft and moved (i.e could be pressed in).
Daisy's not a struggler or verbaliser so I wasn't surprised that she made no fuss over me touching it, if it distressed her I wasn't made aware.
I've read GuineaLynx's section on lump's and the only applicable lump seems to be a Lipoma but I'd like some second opinions, and advice on whether or not she needs a vet check or just monitoring.
