    Awww she's a cute piggy! Can't they just lance the cyst?

    I'm sure since the days when I had pigs they've improved things alot, however back then doing anesthetic on a GP was very risky.

    One thing I learned about them is that if they get sick you have about 24 hours to get it looked at, even a simple cold can turn to pnemonia in a short time.

    5 is a pretty good age for a piggy. Only one of mine made it that old and he had arthritis and cataracts by that time.

    Piggy (black american)- 3 yrs
    Cinnamon (bi-color american)- 3 yrs
    Sammy (silver agouti)- 7 yrs

    no, the vet said it was too big now to just drain it.

    What a beautiful & sweet girl! I'm so sorry to hear she isn't feeling her best. =(
    I agree, though. Go with what feels best. Follow your heart!

    Thanks all.

    I am sorry to hear of guinea pigs who passed away. What great companions they are
