Thing on vent

captotterboy Jul 20, 2006 05:04 PM

Hey all,
Its nice to be back... i was away in England, than really busy, than really sick. But JEFF IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay...

So Charlie is eating like a pig again. Still has as much energy as ever, and still as freindly as ever. Since summer started he has expected to be taken out of his cage to be put in the window sill for some natural sun. in fact, i have noticed the days i do not take him out, he gets much more defensive.

However, a few weeks ago i noticed a small growth in the corner of his vent. I decided to wait to see what it would do. So far it has gotten neither worse nor better. Today, however, it appeared that it was oozing puss. Great.... I do not know how to describe what it looks like.

SOme of you guys sent me pictures of some sort of intestinal problem a few weeks ago and it did not look like anything like that.

Any thoughts?

Jeff

Post pictures.
Take it to a vet so that you can find out what it is.
