Ok i have an iguana,She is a female and i am pretty sure she is 3-4 yrs old she was given to me from one person to another and so on.Back in December she got a sora like bump on her lower left jaw,Now just a few weeks ago she has another one but this seems wors.Now she has one on her uper right jaw.

Not to sound mean...
but have you gone to a vet? Why wait 3 months?
Are you sure it's not Metabolic Bone Desease? Could be an abscess/infection.
I'm sorry I can't help you further, but your iguana needs immediate professional medical attention. Giving opinions and/or tips online never cures an ill animal.

Best of luck, and let us know what it is.

Your said the ig is sorta sick? You need to this girl to
vet immediately!. This is either MBD or abscesses, both which
require immediate veterinary attention. Don't wait!.

Not to sound mean either but now she is your responsibilty
so please get some help for her.

Please keep us updated.
Linda
