Welcome to Wheekers, but I'm sorry it's under such sad circumstances that you are joining.
I'm afraid that under the forum membership rules, we only allow requests for funds for registered charities, not for individual circumstances. Most of us understand how hard it can be being faced with such bills, and have had times where we've struggled to pay the vets, so I wish you all the best finding the funds to treat your guinea pigs.

A lot of us understand the struggles of having a sick piggy. I have a special needs piggy that constantly requires vet visits and medication, so my sympathies are with you. I wish I could help, but unfortunately, my own circumstances are preventing me from doing so. I am currently dealing with a surgery on a human level and other financial obligations. If it is a cyst or tumor, the good news is that they can be treated and be given temporary relief. The bad news is that it could possibly be temporary. Cysts and tumors have a knack of reappearing. Depending on how old the piggy is, even surgery might become a risk factor.
I had a 7-year-old piggy that I was in love with. She had a massive cyst on her rump ( which is common) and has it cleaned out, but not surgically removed because she was so old.
I wish you all the luck.

Hello and welcome I think we've all been where you are, at least once. It's not easy, but we manage to get through somehow. Best of luck
