What if your guinea pig has a lump?

If it is large and flat and on the underside of your piggy, then it should be harmless and not affect your piggy. However, a pea-sized lump (most commonly found on the back or the rear) would be a cyst, and yes, it could be harmful. If you don't treat it, it could grow bigger and bigger until it pops and then it could get infected. I suggest, if you have a cyst, take it to the vet immediately! However, a method I've never tried before (so I don't guarantee results) if the cyst is still growing is to flush it out with Demisol or Aserbine fluid. Good luck, but I strongly suggest firstly that you go to a vet if it truly is a cyst!

Your guinea pig has developed a lump on her side could it be caused by a change of food?

It's unlikely that a change in food would directly cause a lump to develop on your guinea pig's side. Lumps can be caused by a variety of factors, including abscesses, tumors, or cysts. It's best to have a veterinarian examine the lump to determine the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment.
