My guinea pig has a cheek lump, eye discharge, and is sneezing. Is it serious?

Question

Hello my guinea pig might have a tumor and it goes from his right cheek to his snout (oval shapped) he doesn't seem as active and i found a white liquide leaking from his eye closest to the tumor. He has been sneezing quite a bit? Is this cancer? I can't afford treatment and I wanted to know more of what to expect for saturday when I go to the vet but they are not well experienced there.

This is likely an abscess which will need to be seen and treated by a veterinarian. The vet will need to lance the abscess and flush it. Since it may be involving the teeth, your vet may want to x-ray the head to see the extent. Kuri will need antibiotics. If you have financial concerns, investigate the possibility of getting care credit (www.carecredit.com), make a few phone calls to some pet charities in your area and talk with your vet about a payment plan.
