Hi. First time poster. Hope I'm in the right place.
Can anyone help me? I recently bought a very young Hogg Island.
Lately her tip of her nose is growing abnormally bulbous. As if fluid or something was building up inside. I thought I saw a little liquid running from her nose and one nostril looked almost bruised.
Now her environment is pretty standard and she eats and acts normally. She shares a cage with another redtail and that snake has no problems. She does have a birth defect (?) leaving her with a turned up lip (looks like a snarl). I don't know if that is a contributing factor in this problem.
Does anyone know what this is or where I could find out? I would certainly appreciate the help. Thank you. -Bill!
