re: brown growth on leg
Hi--You all have helped me before with my guinea pig questions and I'm hoping you can help again. I have a 7 month pig who is well loved and cared for. Recently I noticed a round dark brown mole like area on her hind leg with what appears to be a somewhat long skin tag growing out of the middle of the area. has anyone else experienced this? I plan on taking her to the vet to check it out but I really don't want it taken off needlessly (which would probably require anesthesia and all of those inherent problems) if I don't have to. Any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance! Other than this mole like area, she seems perfectly normal---same appetite, no weight loss, just as active, etc.

Do you think this could be a spur? See www.guinealynx.info/feet.html#spur (I think).
Hi again---I feel really stupid for even posting this question. My only defense is that this is my first pig so I had no idea. Anyway, I checked my pig out further and discovered that this is one of her nipples!!! When I would hold her, the skin would push against her leg and make it appear that it was on her leg, but when I turned her over there was another one directly opposite it on the other side. Sorry for being so dumb and again thanks for the help!!!!!
