Conditions lump behind left ear

[lilliecandy]

Hi, wonder if anyone can help...

My 8 weeks old female, Candy, has developed a lump behind her left ear which is hairless too, I am really worried, only noticed it today. she is jumping and running and eating as normal which is really good I suppose.

thanks for your advice

Hi there! The hairlessness is normal - she should have a bald patch behind both ears. Unfortunately, the only way to tell for certain what the lump is is to take her to the vet. Good luck!

Take her to the vet, and the bald spot behind the ears is normal .

One of my pigs had a lump and it was an abcess that needed to be drained and given antibiotics. It was a big lump (no hair loss b/c it was on his back). It may not be an emergency, like rush it to the vet, but an appt is probably the best.

Thank you for your help, looks like we're off to the vet.
