I am not sure about the ribs but I also have painful lump on the side of me neck. It is red and I thought it was a bite. I showed my mum and she says it was a boil. She burst it for me with a sterilized needle but it is still there a bit. Go and see your doctor though to have an experianced eye on the situatin. hope this helped Little Dictionairy xx
it could be a calcium deposit...
could be a hernia, i would go to the Dr. and get it checked out.
No they need a cage with no wire bottom floor try making a c&c cage.
The possible cause for a hard elongated lump on the lower back rib cage is infection. It can also be caused by shingles.
maybe, depends
Yes, that is the top of your rib cage.
get it to the vet emmediately! it could be serious! when my hamster had a lump i took it to the vet as soon as i could and they gave him an operation. it saved his life because i got there quick enough. unfortunately it came back a year later but inside him and he had to be put to sleep! it could be pricey but you will be glad you did it so your pet didnt suffer!
Your guinea pig may have swollen toes due to the bottom of the cage, or the bedding. The most common cause is from the bottom of the cage. If you have a wire bottom on your cage, this may cause the inflamation. I suggest finding another cage or providing something solid that your guinea pig may rest its paws on!
It may be a hernia. See a doctor.
A wire cage with a plastic bottom.
depends on your cage - wire bottom - once a week. Solid bottom - every day.
it is a good reason to take him to the vet
