--I've asked previous questions relating to this, I would now like to add pictures to show people who've asked and to help anybody in the future with a piggy!-- Basically, two weeks ago I took my piggy, Lucy, to the vets after noticing a fairly large lump between her back legs (hairless, and with a slight scab in the middle), and two lumps under her left front arm (one which had a scab which was barely noticeable). Pic1: http://s709.photobucket.com/albums/ww91/coolhana/Lucy%20my%20piggy/?action=view¤t=Loulou002.jpg&newest=1 Pic2: http://s709.photobucket.com/albums/ww91/coolhana/Lucy%20my%20piggy/?action=view¤t=Loulou003.jpg&newest=1 The vet told me that she had mammary gland tumours (like breast cancer in humans), apparantly they can come up at different parts of her body. She's too old to have surgery (she's 6) and so the vet told me to take her home, look after her (obviously) and take her back in to be put to sleep if she stops eating or drinking or becomes lethargic (I really don't want to have to do that, but obviously if she's in pain I'll have no choice :( ) Since then, I've had her inside in my room, in a large basket filled with newspaper, sawdust, hay, her favourite treats and water and food etc. (She is an outdoor piggy because my dad and brother are allergic, but it's so cold here in England at the moment and I don't want her to be outside at night time, or during the day because she's ill!) Aanyway, she seems so far (touch wood) to have been eating, drinking etc. What I'm worried about is this: I've been reading some other sites about guinea pigs and I've noticed that the pictures of the mammary gland tumours tend to be from the guinea pig's nipple. I have no idea what these are on Lucy, and they don't look like anything I've seen on a website :( Please help - she does not squeak when I touch them, and she seems to be eating and drinking, but the skin of the lump (the part that isn't a scab) feels slightly thinner than it was, particularly around the lumps in the first picture. In the second picture is the lump between her legs - sorry for the bad picture quality. The scab is basically on the lump, and the lump feels like it is where the bald patch is. I should also add that the vet told me the scab is from where the tumour is pushing through the skin. I don't know if any of what he has told me is right, after looking at other pictures on the web. Thank you so much for any help :( 
She came home wet yesterday and only just made it to bathroom today when she got home, when asked she says I don't need to go , she has always since a toddler been lazy when it comes to going for a wee and will always holds on until last minute. She has been dry on a night for 3 years, it isn't medical, I am at my wits end and getting so exasperated. Any ideas would be very welcome. 
I will install my office software on my laptop. I don't like "remote desktop" because it reserves an entire workstation in the office and because it is lagged. I'm belive my solution will require a wireless broadband internet connection. Doesn't Windows Server 2003 have this biult-in? It seems like a simple idea. 
I woke up yesterday with a new pimple, right above my lip. I ran my finger across my top lip, and hit a lump, and a sting that followed after. Later that day, it started to show more. Then when I got home, I decided I needed to pop this sucker. Popping it was a bad idea. I put hot water on it, and it went down. I took a bath in really hot water, and the pimple trippled in size. But it wasn't just the pimple, it was my lip too. It hurt. Today it did look better, and its not this huge bump anymore. It swelled down, and looks like a little bump. How can I get my lip back to normal? Also, it has to be quick because I have a very important thing on Friday. By the way, it was two pimples. The lump was the second one. Today, you can't even see the first pimple I saw. All there is is my bump, but atleast it swelled down. Help? 
K, try to be short. my ex and I have a granddaughter who is 3. She does not have a good home life and I keep her as much as I can. When we are out in public, my ex is staring at women and following them to get close ups for sessions with himself later. he never wanted to have sex, was always doing this and hid it well for seven years, this is why we are not together, he chose his "way". However there is a bond between him and the baby, and we are basically forced together when we have her. we get along for the most part, i try to ignore his behavior in public, beach, store, fair, you get the picture. I have asked repeatedly that he stop while we are out with her, he does not, if anyhitng he does it more. yes, it bothers me tremendously, as he chose it, but wont respect the family thing in public. HELP? he has finally admitted he fantasized about my daughter in law as well. This is making me sick, yet he is wonderful with the baby. Ideas, please, help.
