[JackGillett]

Can anyone identify this and is it a threat?

 

[FF MkII]

[JackGillett]

Any better mate?

 

[ccole]

You can see them now jack but that's the only help I can give you. Hope someone else with more experience can help you out. Respect cole

has you male been fighting ? or was in a very tight log ? Looks like a cyst or puss ball. When you see it what does it look like ? Also do not like the red markings at all of the finnage...cheers jk :thumbup:

 

[JackGillett]

No fighting and the cave is quite loose. Hold on will get a picture. The redness is at the base of the fins and the stomach

 

[JackGillett]

It does look like a puss ball or cyst. Or even like a stone trapped under the skin.
This is his cave, not tight at all.




thanks for the help :thumbup:

I've read about L200 having lumps and bumps, not sure what the cause was but read in a thread elsewhere about a possible cause and that it could be treated with furanase,

:link:


If anyone else has any suggestions about what it could be feel free to post

 

[JackGillett]

Thanks doodles. He is fine in himself. Where can I get this stuff?

 

[Doodles]

Not sure if its available in the uk, but I think it contains Furazolidone, so there may be something in uk that contains it or similar. Might be worth pming D-MAC, see if he can help.

 

[Doodles]

The fact that there is only one lump could just mean its a cyst or something like that.

 

[JackGillett]

Is it curable and is he on danger? As far as I know he had it when I got him

 

[JackGillett]

Can I remove or pop it?
Thanks for your help, I've checked the plec there is only 1 of these lumps

 

[bigbird]

i would not pop it, just monitor it and see how it changes, cheers jk :thumbup:

 

[JackGillett]

Ok thanks Bb and doodles. It's not red around it, i'll monitor it closely and see how it goes, is it dangerous?

I had a look at this link...I don't think this is the same thing at all...Does the lump look like its under the skin? Lymphocystis is generally found to be more topical...This might be one for VickiandKev to have a look at, as I haven't seen this before.

 

[JackGillett]

Thanks D-mac, the lump is under the skin im pretty sure, Ive asked my local maidenhead, the boss is great at this stuff but he doesnt know and hasnt seen it before

Hey jack I have sent the pic to my wife who works at a vet as a vet nurse and she is asking the exotics vet there will let you know if they know. respects cole

 

[JackGillett]

Thanks alot ccole appreciate it mate

 

[D-MAC]

Gas bubble disease can cause lumps but I am pretty sure this is not the same...This seems to be more of a fatty lump/cyst type of thing.
