My guinea pig has a lump under each leg?

and is struggling to walk, the lump seem to have a small "tail" of skin attached to them ...any ideas...

Update:

The vet is a very expensive option.......awful but honest fact ...if its terminal and only surgery will save poor speedy then poor speedy.

    I agree with Stella, it's probably a tumor and needs to be tested to see if it is cancer. Don't wait, guinea pigs hide their illness until is gets really bad. So take it to the vet ASAP.

    you seriously should take it to the vet. Why get a pet if you can't take care of the medical needs of it.

    Troy, you should take your guinea pig to the vet.

    I think Sam's thing is very clever, but not as helpful as it might be!

    you might want to take it to the vet... the lump could be from it walking too much.
