Does the syringe they gave you look like the one above? Flush at least twice daily with a warm sterile saline solution. Glad you found a more reasonable vet.

I had abscess on guinea pig lanced by a vet.And I been flushing it but I was wondering while it heals should it still feel kinda like a lump and a bit hard in the area.Like I been squeezing it to see if pus would come out but there isnt any coming out so was wondering if this is normal and healing right

Be very careful about doing any squeezing. It can cause trauma to the skin. Do the best you can flushing it.

I have a 5 and a half year old piggie. This morning I noticed a lump under his chin. I don't know if it was there before, but it definitely grew a lot over night. I read about other pigs with the same problem in this thread. Being Saturday I can't even get a normal vet, and there is no exotic vet around here. Should I give him antibiotics? And in what dose?
