A guinea pig was presented today with a massive (compared to the size of the leg) lump on its left hind leg. This had grown rather rapidly and was starting to worry the guinea pig when it moved. Although there was some question as to whether we would have enough skin left to cover the wound after the tumour was removed, the decision was made to go ahead with the operation as the alternative would have to be euthenasia.
The operation was performed and we managed to successfully close the wound. After a short stay with us, the guinea pig went home with the wound healing well.
