We recently found a lump just above the hind leg of our guinea pig, Rocky.
We cant get her into the vet until Tuesday, and I´m worried.

Physically, she seems fine, she eats and moves around like normal but I´m still worried.

To better identify what it is, I took a picture of the lump and uploaded it to the net.
The address is http://www.geocities.com/mustaine_rocks/rocky.html

I´m pretty sure it can wait til Tues.(holidays and all). The vet will probably do a fine needle aspiration to see if it´s an abscess or a cyst. If he/she can´t ID it as either, the vet will either take it out or remove a section for biopsy. (They usually just take the whole thing out if it´s easily accessible.)

If it´s an abscess, the vet will either remove it or drain it. If it´s a cyst, same thing.
