Hey

Just wondering if anyone has the experience to help
My beardie has a lump inbetween his eye and nostril
When I got him they didnt say anything about it but I looked at it 10 minutes ago and There is oozing pussy stuff coming out
Im so worried Ive put up pics
He is 4 I got him 3 days ago
They didnt have time for him anymore
He doesnt seem to be in pain or anything and he is running around eating fine.
I tried to get the rest of the stuff out with a cotton bud and he didnt care
I think most of it is out and the lump has gone right down
Advice or experience..... anything would help


Cheers
Jac

can lizards get an absess? if so, that'd be my guess


edit:

if so a vet would cut it open to drain, then leave the wound open to dry out and heal
 
you really need to get a better quality photo, But it is probably an abcess though could be a cyst, or even a tumour or just a few damaged scales. The fact that it is draining is good. You should get him to a vet and get some antibiotics for him that would be best practise
 
Whack a bit of betadine on to it to keep it clean.Keep an eye on it,is he alone in his tank,couldn't be a spider bite?my canary passed yesterday from i think spider bite.i really dunno,but keep infection out.
