Hello, I am new here but have had guinea pigs for a long time.
I noticed a strange bald spot on my guinea pig Marshmallow's butt. I brought her into the vet. They did a skin test and said it is most likely a benign tumor or maybe a cyst.
The vet said it is up to me if I want the tumor/cyst removed. I am not sure what to do. My pigs have never had a tumor/cyst before.
She seems fine. She is happy and playful, eating a lot, and doesn't seem to be in pain. But I am a worry wart.
Has anyone here ever seen in the same situation? What do you suggest I do?
Thank you very much!
