HELP! Strange bags under leos armpits?

Synn Oct 05, 2009 10:05 PM

I just picked up my tangerine female and noticed she has these weird bags that seem air filled under both her front armpits.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU.

Those are fat storage which is great if you are planning on breeding her but not so much if you are not because she can become obese. She is a beauty though

My male A.P.T.OR. has the very same things on both sides!!! I took him to a rep vet and he used a TB needle and drew out as much as he could. It was not fat or water. It had a milky look to it. I withdrew his Calcium but after 1 week no improvement.
REALLY want to know what this is.
Anybody out there.....
