Guinea Pig has large bump on throat?

Q: I noticed it a few days ago. It is almost like a Adam’s Apple on a human. But it is hard and quite large. It is a little bald and might be smelly. I can’t tell if it is just him or the lump that stinks. He is acting COMPLETELY normal and is showing now signs of pain. You can touch the lump and he doesn’t care at all. He has not lost any weight and is eating as much as ever! What could this be? And it is in the middle of his throat.I meant he is showing NO signs of pain.

A: Guinea pigs get a streptococcus infection that can settle in the lymph nodes of the neck and cause a lump or lumps. In most cases they resolve themselves but in some cases the node becomes granular and hard and never goes away. There is a danger that the bacteria can erode a blood vessel and get into the blood stream and cause sepsis. The lesion can also open, either out through the skin or into the throat. Streptococci are very smelly and this is possibly what you are smelling.It is worth a trip to the vet to get it checked out. Be sure it is a guinea pig savvy vet who has had either lab animal or “pocket pet training” because guinea pigs are sensitive to a variety of common antibiotics, particularly beta lactam containing ones like penicillin. Giving the wrong antibiotic to a guinea pig can be worse than giving none at all. If the abcess is well walled off, you probably don’t need to do anything. If it isn’t you may need to treat it.

Punched in the Throat. Bump got Pushed In?

Q: I just had a fight with someone with the following rules of not hitting in the face because he had glasses and couldn’t see without it. So this retard comes and hits me in the throat. I sucked it up and kicked his ass anyways but now the bump in my throat is pushed inwards while I have difficulty speaking or swallowing. What are the symptoms of permanent damage and how can you differentiate it from temporary trauma? When I talk, I have to talk very quietly and swallowing spit is even difficult. Is it necessary for me to consult a doctor about this?

A: You absolutely need to contact a doctor about this. If you broke the cartilage in your larynx, it can cause permanent damage to your vocal cords. Go to the ER now and see an ENT as soon as possible.The tissue in your larynx will probably swell, and that can cause breathing issues.
