Sick Leaking guinea pig!

[Vipsen]

Hello!

I was picking up my one year old teddy, Arya, when I noticed she has a soft lump by her left nipple.

As I squeezed it, brownish clear liquid came pouring out at high speed. She did not seem to mind it and the nipple is not swollen.

I weighed her and there is no trouble there. Her eating pattern is quite fine, she drinks and she seems as curious as she has always been.

The 'abscess' seems to be gone, although she is still slightly softer near the left nipple.

It is important to say that the growth (or whatever it is) does not sit directly on the nipple, but slightly above and to the right. You could not see it, this is how little it was and now there is no outline of it to be felt any more. She does not appear to be sick in any way.

I am still somewhat worried of what it is and want to know if anyone got an idea?

It could be a benign cyst that formed under the skin. And sometimes with cysts, you have to have the sac removed surgically, or the cyst will just keep refilling and getting larger. It doesn't sound like an emergency, but I would let a vet check her. And keep a very close eye on it until you can see the vet.

I don't know if there's anything in here that might help, or not: https://www.guinealynx.info/lumps.html.
